About The Moon Bear . . .
The night can be a scary time. It is dark. It can be a magical time too. Stars are out, the moon is bright. Strange and perhaps marvelous noises drift in through an open window. Gwen, a little girl in a very big bed, awakens to a noise one night and goes to her window. In the tree outside, she finds a very big bear. Together they climb to the top so the Moon Bear can taste the honey dripping from the full orange moon.
Steve Scher, a personality at Seattle’s public radio for more than twenty-seven years, now writes on Whidbey Island, where he hears to coyotes howling, watches bats flit across the starry sky, and listens to tree frogs serenading one another. Sometimes, on nights when there is a big full moon, he knows there may also be a marvelous creature shaking a big old tree.
