The Tale of Cuffy Bear

Arthur Scott Bailey and Illustrator Smith

Cuffy Bear wakes up hungry, and the mountain had better brace itself. The very first of Bailey's animal tales sends the little bear nose-first into a porcupine, a wonderful spring, and scrape after scrape that teaches him something, briefly. Harry L. Smith's pictures catch every tumble. Meet the cub who started a whole shelf of tales. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
