Bear on the train

Book 1999

One fall day, deep in the mountains, Bear smelled grain. He followed that smell down the mountain, over the river, into a town, and onto a hopper of a westbound train. Nobody saw him but Jeffrey. -- Thus begins a most unusual hibernation story, and an amazing journey, for after the bear has eaten his fill, he falls asleep and spends the winter crisscrossing the country on a mile-long freight train.
