A Scary, Cowardly Story

The forest dwellers are in a panic! A mysterious, terrifying beast has crept into the forest and threatens them. It has already evicted Komka the bear cub from his home and is closing in on the others. Komka embarks on a dangerous journey and brings along some defenders, but… are they really “defenders”? What does their leader truly want? What secret is hidden in the cave by the river? And what does Komka—the most cowardly bear in the world—have to do with it all? The forest holds many secrets, and the greatest of all lies in the dark thicket… For younger readers. Oksana Ivanova is a recipient of the “Manuscript of the Year” and the E. N. Uspensky “Big Fairy Tale” awards, and the author of the books “Everyone Plays!” and “The Adventures of a Dragon and a Cat.” A sequel to the adventures of a dragon and a cat is currently in preparation for publication. A kind, funny, exceptionally sweet and heartwarming story about a cowardly bear cub who saves the forest from a terrifying beast. With wonderful, lifelike characters, a cheerful narrative, and forest scares that are not scary at all. It is pure cuteness combined with beautiful literary language and a great sense of humor.
