The Eagle and the Bear
by B. Smith


Jeff the eagle is the nuisance of the forest—he bewilders the bees, rocks the raccoons, bowls over the beavers, dive-bombs the ducks, and even wakes the wolves. Most of all, he disrupts Betty the bear while she fishes for her two hungry cubs. Betty implores Jeff to think of others, but he doesn’t care. But when Jeff injures his wing and can’t fly, Betty cares for him and his eaglets. Will Jeff realize the Golden Rule of the forest? Will he finally learn to treat others how he wants to be treated? The Eagle and the Bear explores the transformative power of kindness and caring within a community.

The Eagle and the Bear is part of a series teaching morals and life lessons which includes his book The Beaver and the Muskrat and a third forthcoming book.
