"As remarkable a writer as he is an illustrator."--Publishers Weekly Poor Bear, who will send him a letter? Come rain or shine, he works so hard delivering the post to all the animals of the wood but he never receives anything himself. Hardly surprising since he's never actually sent a message! One day Bear decides to write some mail of his own, inviting all the forest animals to a party. David Lucas is a well-loved British illustrator and writer whose fairy tales and folk stories have enchanted children and adults for years.
