The Big Brown Bear

George E. Walsh was an American author, known particularly for his large number of children's books for different age groups. Buster the Big Brown Bear is part of the Twilight Animal series, a collection of stories for children aged four to 10, featuring such characters as Buster the brown bear, Bobby Grey Squirrel, and White Tail the deer. 

In this collection of stories, we follow Buster, who is born on the river and lives with his mother as a cub. While his mother is out hunting for food, Buster meets Loup the lynx who has only bad intentions. Buster manages to escape from Loup and ends up on a series of adventures he could not imagine.

Join Hare Fare on two big adventures. On the first Hare Fare meets a horrible big brown bear and just somehow outwit him. In the second Hare Fare and his family go to pick a great turnip from the farmer's turnip patch.

All little boys and girls who love animals should become acquainted with Bumper the white rabbit, with Bobby Gray Squirrel, with Buster the bear, and with White Tail the deer, for they are all a jolly lot, brave and fearless in danger, and so lovable that you won’t lay down any one of the books without saying wistfully, “I almost wish I had them really and truly as friends and not just story-book acquaintances.” That, of course, is a splendid wish; but none of us could afford to have a big menagerie of wild animals, and that’s just what you would have to do if you went outside of the books. Bumper had many friends, such as Mr. Blind Rabbit, Fuzzy Wuzz and Goggle Eyes, his country cousins; and Bobby Gray Squirrel had his near cousins, Stripe the chipmunk and Webb the flying squirrel; while Buster and White Tail were favored with an endless number of friends and relatives. If we turned them all loose from the books, and put them in a ten-acre lot—but no, ten acres wouldn’t be big enough to accommodate them, perhaps not a hundred acres. So we will leave them just where they are—in the books—and read about them, and let our imaginations take us to them where we can see them playing, skipping, singing, and sometimes fighting, and if we read very carefully, and think as we go along, we may come to know them even better than if we went out hunting for them. So come out into the woods with me, and let us listen and watch, and I promise you it will be worth while. (This book contains Audio)
