Summary

This is the story of a little girl and her small brown dog. They live all alone in a little cave high up on the mountainside in the middle of the great wide wilderness. Then one day in the bitter cold of winter, as they are returning to their cave, they see bear tracks in the snow . . .

The ending to this adorable story will melt your heart and make you smile.

This is a stunning new edition of this charming children's tale, from the exceptional storyteller and illustrator, Chris Wormell.
