"Kids will love this true story of a bear cub who fell asleep in a dumpster and was inadvertently picked up by a garbage truck. Written in delightful rhyme, the story has a happy ending and some important lessons to protect wildlife. Lisa Horstman, author of the award-winning "Great Smoky Mountain Salamander Ball", wrote and illustrated "The Troublesome Cub". Her colorful, sometimes-humorous, sometimes-heartwarming, paintings bring this amazing story beautifully to life." - From the publisher's website
We were going through Cades Cove and there was a little stand the Park Rangers had set up with some books etc. This was one of the books and it us a true story the Park Ranger who talked to us had seen the bear cub several times. Good little children's book.
I got this book in the great Smoky Mountains national Park on our way into Cades Cove in Tennessee. This is a great way to teach your children how to treat wildlife and the world around you and to protect our wildlife! I bought this book when I was four months pregnant with my son and have recently been able to read it to him for the first time! I cannot wait to read this to him again especially when we’re headed back to Tennessee!
