Istorii o brat'jah nashih men'shih nikogda ne ostavljali ravnodushnymi starshih brat'ev. Zhizn' zhivotnogo polna opasnostej i sama po sebe, a kogda sud'boj volka ili krolika nachinaet rasporjazhat'sja chelovek, to razvjazka nepremenno budet dramatichnoj. Tol'ko smert' mozhet ostanovit' pochtovogo golubja, letjashhego s pis'mom; sama priroda spasaet obitatelja lesov ot puli ohotnika; a zhazhda nazhivy sposobna prevratit' golodnuju dvorovuju koshku v "osobu korolevskoj krovi"...

Ernest Thompson Seton (born Ernest Evan Thompson August 14, 1860; died October 23, 1946) was an author (published in the United Kingdom, Canada, and the US), wildlife artist, founder of the Woodcraft Indians in 1902 (renamed Woodcraft League of America), and one of the founding pioneers of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) in 1910. Seton also influenced Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting. His notable books related to Scouting include The Birch Bark Roll and the Boy Scout Handbook.

Wahb (meaning White Bear) is an orphaned Grizzly Bear who learns to respect his fears, fight for peace, and trust the healing powers of a stinky hot-spring. The story is aptly titled "The Biography of a Grizzly" because it is about the life of a Grizzly. Seton writes with a folksy tone that will enlighten children to the gore and war that Grizzly Bears endure.

An astonishing tale of the wildlife from a bear's perspective! The listener gets a real insight into the challenges and delights of the everyday life of a grizzly named Wahb, having been orphaned from his mother and sibling to a hunter, our hero has to survive alone in the rugged but beautiful mountains of Wyoming.
