Gentle Ben by Walt Morey

I'm not sure how I missed this book all these years. I've got a wife who is an elementary teacher, I have two kids, it takes place in Alaska, there's a bear and a fishing boat...how did I miss this book?

A great great story about a kid growing up in Alaska who befriends a bear.

Yeah sure other stuff happens but it's really the friendship between the boy and the bear that are important and it's magical. Wonderful story, wonderful characters, I just loved every minute of it.

Great stuff here.
