Jonathan lived in a stone farmhouse at the foot of Hemlock Mountain. Grown-ups did not think there were bears on Hemlock Mountain, but Jonathan did. Besides Uncle James said he had once seen a bear...

The story tells how Jonathan went over Hemlock Mountain saying to himself:

THERE ARE NO BEARS ON HEMLOCK MOUNTAIN

THERE ARE NO BEARS...

But were there bears?

This is a book to read to children as they begin to want a story that is a little longer than that of most picture books. Those a little older will read it for themselves—and probably will want to dramatize it.
