Another, they just sit, watching the leaves and playing cards on a tree stump.

Each text analyzes the historical context and political and cultural factors that gave rise to mass killing. This series discusses attempts to achieve justice and reconciliation after genocide. By remembering and studying these dark episodes of history, readers learn the disastrous consequences of baseless hatred and hatred itself.

One neighbour offers to shoot it. Another one suggests calling the game warden to have the bear tranquilized and relocated. But the child among them knows what is best. A bear belongs in the woods, he says, but how can he convince the bear? Together with the adults he clears the yards in the neighbourhood of any food that would tempt the bear. His dad comes up with a good idea for warning the bear away--and it works! BEAR-LY THERE shows that it's always best for the bear if it stays in the woods, away from humans.
