Cubby says:
The Last Bear In Santa Barbara was written especially for 3rd and 4th graders. This is
an exciting story about two Santa Barbara children who slip back in time to 1853 and help to 
rescue a bear cub from the clutches of the villainous bear-hunter, Captain Nidever.

What kids say about the book:
“It was a great book.” --- Spike, the kid in the suit.
“It was a cool story you got there.” --- Lali
“I liked the baby cub’s name. I liked when they time traveled.” --- Jacky, 3rd Grade
