Grizzly Adams and the Bridge to the Meadow is a magical mountain tale featuring Grizzly Adams and his animal friends, including his lovable grizzly bear, Ben; his playful dog, Rambler; and his brainy muse, Earl the Squirrel. A sunrise from 'deep inside the forest' sets the stage for Grizzly Adams and his furry friends to repair a bridge that leads to a beautiful meadow, and their successful effort brings all good things together at the end of the day. Penned in rhyme and wonderfully illustrated, Grizzly Adams and the Bridge to the Meadow (ages 3 to 7) teaches the effectiveness of teamwork, overcoming challenges, and the satisfaction achieved by accomplishing important goals. It is the first of a series of children's books offering new Grizzly Adams stories for both young and old to enjoy. The Grizzly Adams® brand is a sustaining partner of The Vital Ground Foundation, a land trust that conserves and connects habitat for grizzly bears and other wildlife. They also partner with communities to prevent conflicts between bears and people. A percentage of the proceeds from this book go directly to The Vital Ground Foundation.

During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. Featuring one of the most historically rich regions of America, the WPA Guide to Massachusetts is an excellent comprehensive guide to the “Bay State.” Focusing on urban Boston, also known as the Cradle of Liberty, and including rural Plymouth, this guide features a comprehensive tour scheme to engage tourists and residents alike.
