Oh no! L. Joe Bean, Lima Bear's cousin has been captured by the Cave Monster. When Lima Bear and his friends enter the dangerous Black Cave to save L. Joe Bean, the Cave Monster
attacks! Will they save L. Joe Bean in time? And will they save themselves? The message of the story is: Friends, individually afraid, find courage acting together. In the series
entitled The Lima Bear Stories, each has a distinct personality that shines through in every story. While the children have no idea what twists and turns the story may take, they come to
know the characters and have a pretty good idea of how they are likely to act in different situations and settings. Each story carries an important overriding message (such as courage,
tolerance, honesty), and we believe that knowing the characters creates a better understanding and appreciation of the message.
