About the Book

Front Cover

Justa Bear is not a big bear. He’s not a grizzly bear or a polar bear. He is just a bear. 

He lives in a beautiful rainforest where waterfalls run down the mountains. At the edge of the rainforest is a village, and Justa Bear knows he should not go near the houses. But Justa Bear is a curious bear. When his friend Frasier Fox tells him a family of goats lives in the village, Justa Bear wants to see them. Frasier Fox says goats will eat anything. Justa Bear wants to find out. 

When Justa Bear meets one of the goats and is invited for lunch, he’s not sure he should say yes. What if they have barbequed tin cans? What if they have newspaper sandwiches? Justa Bear is in for a surprise!
