Ever have a close encounter with a bear? Chris Peterson was nicknamed 'Abe' by kids at the summer camps he oversaw because of his likeness to the president, and most of his writing follows the fun, adventurous, and humorous interactions between himself, children, and bears in Alaska. Most books about bears tend to deal with bear attacks or fairy tales, and most people seem naturally afraid of bears. This book presents eight true stories that show another side of bears. The purpose of this book is to give young people and adults some exciting stories that will help them face their fears and enjoy the wonderful outdoors. Chris Petersen has been an avid outdoorsman all his life; camping, backpacking, hunting, and fishing. He has had numerous encounters with both black and grizzly bears in Alaska that were up close and very personal. He received a bachelor's degree in Natural Resources Management and worked outdoors as Boy Scout District Executive and summer camp director for 33 years. He is currently working as a back country Property Ranger with a private company patrolling mountains of north Idaho. Chris is married and has one daughter and two sons. He loves to read and tell stories to young people, and one of his favorite authors is Abraham Lincoln.
