... and so the chain saw approaches? The rising panic is palpable. But bears sleep at night, so why would the chain saws operate during her sleep - was she hibernating?

Bee and Willow best friends. Is Bee going to save her friend from humming and buzzing? Are the human going to cut Willow? The answers next chapter. Thank you for sharing.

I'm glad you reminded us of how Bea Bear got her name. I also liked how she faced her fears and was able to avoid getting too upset finding out about the wind. I also liked how Bea is more concerned about some potential harm to her friend, Willow, more than herself.

This is my first time reading your stories about 'Bea,' and I was very entertained. I enjoy your focus on the growth years ... exercising the brain, overcoming fears, caring for others, etc.
I love 'investigative exercise' and 'brain exercise.' So creative.
Your story is a great read for all children, young and old alike.

You've created a wonderful and natural world for Bea and her friends. Bea teaches two very important lessons by encouraging children to think and investigate when something unfamiliar happens, and to be compassionate
when others may be in a difficult position. Very well done.

Just a few changes for consideration:
- Grasped = should be small "g"
- brain exercise, told = delete comma
- instantly as = add comma after "instantly"
- exercise that = add comma after "exercise"

Bea struggles with figuring things out just like we do. I like that about her!
I think the first line "Something awoke Bea" should be Something woke Bea. Or Bea was awakened by something...

Keep up the good work!

Poor Bea is so scared, not sure what she should do. I love how you explained how she got her name. That was very sweet, realistic. The chapter is well-written very interesting start to finish and I love your hook at the end. Nice job.

A sweet drop of golden honey on the 'r' was the cause of her name change!

A sweet installment and continuing story of my favorite little bear. This one had a good lesson on kindness which is what Bea is, and never cruel. Sounds like the author. ;]

My bear growing up was 'Beary.' He was white (but stained) from being touched so much.

Sending you my best today as always,

    I am pleased you have become endeared to Bea. I don't know if I've told you, she is me and some of the adventures I've had or how I "handle" life. The other animals featured in this book are all at the Rainbow Bridge or as Bea refers to it, the Bridge of Rainbows. Book 1 is very accurate, this one begins to stretch away from my own adventures.

This excerpt maintains your authorial style. It sits well with your other posts {smiles}.

Here are a couple of points you might like to consider:

Was her cave home full of her friends who had the same sound to their name as Bea. -- This appears to be a question, so I'd terminate it with a question mark.

both Sweet Puppy and Scruffles quickly curled curiously close to her -- This is an efficient use of the narrative. It indicates to the reader something is amiss, and it also helps characterize Sweet Puppy and Scruffles {smiles}.

Everyone was able to finally get back to sleep only to be awakened again, this time by a terrible buzzing. -- The "this time" confused me. I thought the buzzing woke them before as well???

    Humming of the storm woke them before. This is a new sound threatening Willow, buzzing. Thank you for your supportive review.
