Buster Bear's Twins by Thornton W. Burgess

In the Green Forest, a hidden secret becomes the start of a lively woodland tale: Mother Bear has twins, Boxer and Woof-Woof, and the forest is soon buzzing with curiosity, mischief, and alarm. When Peter Rabbit stumbles onto the bear family's secret, he cannot resist playing tricks, only to find that boldness can turn to panic in a hurry. His pranks set off a comic chain of surprises involving the cubs, their wary mother, and the ever-taunting Chatterer the Red Squirrel. As Boxer and Woof-Woof grow, Mother Bear guides them through their first lessons in survival, teaching them to trust their noses, ears, eyes, and claws. They learn to climb, to watch, and to obey, discovering both the thrill and the danger of the Great World. Chatterer's jealous taunts and Peter's schemes only deepen the forest's tangle of pride, retaliation, and fear. Warm, playful, and gently instructive, this animal story celebrates family, courage, and the hard-won wisdom of growing up wild.
