The Bear is the story of two children who are left behind when their parents are killed in a random bear attack on a camping / canoe trip. The story is narrated by the older child - a five year old girl - and is told from her point of view in a flow of consciousness format. She, along with her 2 yr old brother, did not witness the attack so they do not understand exactly what has happened. It is a story of survival and family dynamics.
