How do you deal with a small bear that can talk? After rescuing Whimsy V Bear from the torments of two bullies, nine-year-old Johnny is astonished when the bear speaks to him. Thus begins the recorded adventures in The Whimsy V Bear Chronicles as the little bear experiences one disaster after another. Although Whimsy is gentle, goodhearted, and naïve, his innocence is such that the little bear cannot understand why he is constantly in trouble. The reader may choose to look at the relationship between Johnny and Whimsy as somewhat similar to that of Christopher Robin and Pooh Bear. However, Whimsy's world and the issues with which he is confronted are relevant and contemporary. Whimsy's lifemate (Florence Bear) has a black belt in Bear'a'te. His best friend is Desmond Diamondback (a nearsighted rattlesnake), and two of his relatives are his lifemate's uncle Rumpole of the Bearly (a bearister) and Albert E. Bear (a genius who occasionally questions Steven Hawking about his universal theories). Even with such support against the bully boys and bully bears, Whimsy V Bear's life is a series of difficult events and improbable decisions
