They arrive in the woods, only to sense the dangerous scent of human beings all around. Strange things are happening in these woods – with traps and holes set up throughout. These discoveries not only worry the mother bear, but the deer, boar, and ravens who live there too. The local postman shares their concerns, and the mystery sparks his detective instincts, leading him investigate exactly what’s going on in these woods. A seemingly straightforward mystery is turned upside down, with an astonishing conclusion. In the meantime, the bear family encounters a truly dangerous situation… As young readers follow the trail of mystery through the woods, they learn a great deal about animals and their habits and habitats: for instance, how adult bears discipline their young, how they find a safe place to raise them and what role the father bear plays in their lives. Most importantly, the book confronts readers with a vital question: how can humans and bears live peacefully side by side? This wise and faithfully illustrated story is the third in a series by this author-illustrator duet, following their previous tales of wolves and badgers in the wild.
