Summary from Amazon (I don't get anything by mentioning them, it's not yet on Xist's website)
Waldon Bear is a little boy who wants to be a bear.
“That’s impossible,” says his teacher, Mrs. Hunter. “Human children grow up to be human adults, not animals!” But Waldon refuses to listen. Can Waldon make it as a bear in school?

Nayuleska's thoughts
Yet another book from Julia which brought me
loads of smiles thanks to the funny story filled with unexpected twists. I half
expected the person at the end to be Walter's mother. She is a wonderful mother
who encourages her son in what he wants to be. His teacher doesn't approve, not
when Walter appears in a bear suit which inspires his classmates to do the same
- they looked mega cute in their different outfits. There are interesting bear
facts after the story, although what interested me most was the reason behind
the story from Julia. Everyone has the right to be who they want to be - I pray
that everyone has at least one other person supporting their choices in life so
they have confidence to endure any who disapprove of them.
Find out more on Julia's website.
