Summary "The Bear Family at Home, and How the Circus Came to Visit Them" by Curtis D. Wilbur is a children's storybook written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows a young cub bear who, after becoming separated from his family while caught in a circus, embarks on an adventure that leads him back to the woods and into the company of various animal friends. The story explores themes of family, friendship, and adventure, offering whimsical encounters with different animals who each contribute to the overall narrative. At the start of the tale, the little cub bear ends up in a circus after being caught in a trap. Along with a monkey named Jim, he escapes when the circus train crashes, leading him back to the woods where he reunites with his family. The opening detail elaborates on their joyful reconnection as they discuss future plans, all while introducing a host of animal characters including elephants, owls, and lions who join the cub bear's quest for a suitable home. The text also hints at lessons learned through fun and fantastical storytelling, reflecting the trials and adventures experienced along the way. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
