GOOD LITTLE CHILDREN'S BOOK ON SAMSON

This is a cute little book that little children who like bears will probably like. It is illustrated with watercolor paintings by a competent artist. This book basically tells the story of Samson and how he came to be a Southern California legend. I only wish there were more than two (small) photographs of the bear. But overall, the book is short enough and well illustrated to keep the attention of a young child. My three year old likes it and it made a nice memento of our visit to the Orange County Zoo. Even though Samson is now gone, he is still remembered.
