Joanne Ryder's lyrical exploration of a child's imagination begins first tucked in bed in the early morning, then throughout the day, as he imagines the playful antics of the wild bears in the woods--bears that he can't see but that he knows are there. By the river they wade and splash. In the tall grass they tumble and wrestle, then feed on berries. They follow nameless paths through the woods, and as night falls they, just like the child, feel the coolness of the evening and watch the world turn dark.
