  BIG BAD BRUCE
         

"Then one afternoon Bruce made an awful mistake, a terrible blunder. He came across a huge boulder resting on a bluff and decided to give it a ride. With a mighty heave he sent the boulder tumbling down a steep slope 'Flumpity! Blumpity Whumpity Whump', smashing pine trees and aspens to splinters and leaving deep dents in the ground as it went. In one last big bounce it landed 'Kerplump!' in a berry patch just missing an old woman and her cat Klinker. It was Roxy, a crafty little witch.."

My father loved bears and enjoyed drawing them. A couple of his other bears were Brer Bear in Song of the South and Baloo in the first version of Disney's Jungle Book. Bill Peet, Jr.
