From hurling mud at those passing by, to hanging upside-down out of a window, to putting her little friend in handcuffs, Cher innocently finds herself in the midst of chaos. How Cher's life changes as a result of meeting a lonely old woman and a stray dog is miraculous. Cher Bear is a great book for parents and grandparents to read to children.
