I first read this book as a kid in the 1950's. A neighbor loaned it to me. I was fascinated by it, the first time I had read a book devoted to one animal in a personified way. It still evokes exactly the same feelings now as it did then. While a pure scientist might object to how personified and dramatized it is, based on reading other books on bears and grizzlies in particular, it seems pretty fact-based to me. A reader might wonder where the book, essentially a chronology, is going, but it does build to the conclusion, which is not earth-shattering but as touching and emotional as it is simple. It really conveys many things that we humans can relate to and feel. I've given it to my oldest child to read, and will eventually give it to the others.The book is an easy read, has a simple style, and really helps the reader picture how things look from the animals' perspective. Animals do have intelligence and emotions, recent learnings show that even sharks do, so this book is probably more relevant and true to life than when it was written.
I recommend it to readers from about age 10 to the oldest adult will all enjoy it and come away thinking and feeling in ways they didn't expect.

My Grandmother used to read us this story. I was so happy to find it online. The book has beautiful pen and ink illustrations which are art in themselves. Beautiful purchase! Very Happy with it!
...and still do I have an old hard copy that I know to be 50 years old..don't think I'll part with it
A dog-eared copy of this book was read over and over at our house when I was growing up. My mom, an elementary school teacher, used to read it to her class every year. I have since purchased two used paperback versions of the book for my grandchildren, and I'm so happy to see it is being reprinted. I highly recommend this book for adults and children. It's a one-evening read for an adult, but I promise you will enjoy it.
This looks like a self-published rip off. There is no copyright/publishing details page. The book is about 1/5 the number of pages of our family heirloom original book, which leaves me wondering if the book is abridged (if it is, it should say so somewhere). There are typos in the manuscript and only one illustration. The book description needs to explain what is going on here. I'm returning the book (at my own expense).
I haven't read it in decades. I'm buying a copy for my library - maybe I'll be able to read it to the grandkids - or vice versa ) A fairly short story about the life and death of a grizzly. What stands out in my mind after all these years is the way the aging process is made part of life. Probably best for the budding naturalist rather than those who think predation is a dirty word and all carnivores should be muzzled. A great philosophical work for those who want to teach some of Nature's ways to the young. Its a pretty transparent allegory of our lives. Deals (gently but clearly) with topics like death, fear, competition - winning and loosing. I'd say ages 8 to 13, best read together with your child. (At least the first time!) I also loved his Two Little Savages - about camping & the outdoors.
I remember my Grandma reading me this book when I was little so I recently bought it for a great price to read to my son and he liked it pretty well. He is six. It is a sad book in ways but still great!
I would give it a solid 5 stars. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, though the beautiful spell it weaves certainly captivated me. The book has some lovely turns of phrase, having been written at a different time, perhaps when folks took greater pride in their communicational style (or it could just be that I too am from a different time). The author gave a great deal of consideration toward imagining the world through the eyes of his subject and whilst it amounts to an impossible task, has done so in a believable, insightful and artfully though-provoking way. When I finish a book I often ask myself if I would enjoy reading it again, at some future point. In this case, the answer is definitely yes.
