The Adventures of Bum and Carey Bear

By Robert E. Perron

This story begins in the little Canadian backwoods village of Bearsville. A blessed event occurs, when a polar bear cub, Baby Bum, is born to the 'Bear Family' on Christmas Day.

Happiness abounds, but tragedy strikes a blow when his beloved father, Gruff, dies in the dreadful jaws of a bear trap.

Mother Bear cannot mend his broken heart and is inspired to adopt a red-eyed cub (Carey Bear) to share his unbearable grief.

Bonding as friends and brothers, they dream of grand adventures in faraway lands.

Daring their dreams, our young heroes venture into strange places and meet new friends and scary foes.

Entering the frozen realm of an awesome wicked wizard, (Blitzzard), they battle for their lives in a humongous blizzard.

Hopelessly lost, they wish upon a star and are rescued by a Magic Rainbow Goddess, (Iris).

Entering a forbidding Forest, (Bearswoods), they encounter a knightly hood, 'Sir Robbin Bear'.

Trading heroic tales, Robbin honors them in a forest feast.

Chased by a fierce raptor, 'Talons the Golden Eagle', the heroic brothers, dashing to Mother Bear, return to honor and glory in a grand celebration and triumphant presentation.

The story ends with the joy and wonder of Christmas.

'The Adventures of Bum and Carey Bear' will surely delight the hearts and imaginations of children around the world. It is wonderful and inspiring reading for the entire family.

Robert E. Perron

Robert Edward Joseph Perron was born in Milton, Massachusetts, but he has spent most of his life in Connecticut. Encouraged by his adopted daughter, Lori Ann, to exercise a latent talent, Mr. Perron, himself and his sister adopted, was inspired to pen 'The Adventures of Bum and Carey Bear,' based on his families two well-worn and much loved and hugged stuffed polar bears, 'Bum and Carey.' Mr. Perron thought deeply of 'Bum' and 'Carey' and, interweaving his own experiences, began to write a children's book about two polar bear cubs and their grand adventures. The story tells of how two troubled and lonely souls are destined to be friends and brothers forever. Drawing upon his collection of stone critters, the story contains no less than fifty characters. The author brings each one to life. Our young heroes invite the young--and the young at heart--to go along and share with them the joy of family, the wonder of nature and the spirit of Christmas. Mr. Perron, who lives with his lovely wife Irene, is a retired teacher of piano and composer. His varied interests include literature, astronomy, science and antique autos.
