Brother Hugo can't return his library book - the letters of St. Augustine - because, it turns out, the precious book has been devoured by a bear! Instructed by the abbot to borrow another monastery's copy and create a replacement, the hapless monk painstakingly crafts a new book, copying it letter by letter and line by line. But when he sets off to return the borrowed copy, he finds himself trailed by his hungry new friend. Once a bear has a taste of letters, it appears, he's rarely satisfied!

Critic reviews

“Combines suspense, humor, and information in a handsome, entertaining package." ( School Library Journal)

Beautifully and hilariously written story that was marvelously narrated with perfect background sounds in background. A little sad the story is actually only 12 minutes long and the rest of the time is a repeat of the story with page turn markers.

Funny book about a bears hunger
