Excerpt From Book

Bear had a dream. His dream was to make his friends laugh. He wanted to tell his jokes on Woodland Stage on a Saturday night. He imagined what his friends would say. "You’re so funny, Bear," Fawn would call."Great jokes!" Chuck would shout."Who knew our friend Bear was such acomedian?" Bandit would ask. Bear had a problem, though. Whenever he spoke in front of a crowd, he got nervous. His knees knocked. His paws paused. His fur froze. He stuttered and could barely speak.
