An orphaned bear cub was adopted by a group of Polish soldiers during World War II. The soldiers became the bear's new family. The bear helped the soldiers during the war, got into some mischief, and improved the morale at the camp. This true story teaches children about friendship, teamwork and World War II. 

This is a great, little-known World War II story. The illustrations are detailed and engaging. The material at the end of the book includes photographs, a timeline, and source information.
