Book Cover & Preview Text
I am a small, brown bear that has had the opportuinty and the pleasure of traveling just about every where my friends have gone, that is if they don't leave me behind, forget me or loose me. I am always ready for a new adventure. Let me tell you a little about myself. I am sure most of you have heard of a "Flat Stanly" or maybe not. Well, I am not flat, nor three and half inches tall, and I do not fit into a 6" envelope like my friend Stan but, if I stand on my tippy toes I might be able to make the nine inch mark on the ruler. I am rather round in the middle and short for my age but, I have very good looking features. I have brown eyes and just about all my fur, but, most of all I still have my button nose intack. I might be short but, I do have a lot of miles under my belt and a lot of stamps on my passport. I hope to share a few of my adventures, photos and friends that I have met along the way. I also hope you enjoy reading my stories as much as we have enjoyed writting them.

About the Book
My name is Gear Bear (and for the record, “Gear” rhymes with “Bear”). I am a small, brown bear who has had the opportunity and pleasure of great travel, and these are my stories.
I am a very lucky bear for so many reasons. I get to travel just about everywhere my friends and family go—but sometimes they get so excited about being someplace new that they leave me behind, forget me, or lose me. I’ve even been bearnapped! But no matter what happens, I am always ready for a new adventure.
I have a lot of miles under my belt and many stamps in my passport. I’ve traveled on a canoe down the Wisconsin River—through a nude beach, no less—on the back of a motorcycle to the Sturgis Bike Rally, and on the back of a horse through the Ozark Mountains. I’ve even had a ghost encounter at a local establishment and a search-and-rescue mission with the help of a US Marshal!
I’ve traveled by plane, train, and automobile, and more. It seems that no matter where I go or what I do, trouble and adventure seem to follow.
