illustrated by Wendy Leach
A young girl wakes up one morning and is surprised to find a bear outside her house rummaging through her family’s rubbish can. She convinces her parents to allow her to keep the bear, whom she names Burt, provided that she can teach him good manners, a task that she undertakes with enthusiasm and completes successfully.
