BEAR WHO WENT TO WAR (PB)

In the dark days of World War Two, a group of Polish soldiers far from home adopt an orphaned bear cub and hide him in their tents, feeding him with their rations. When they are told he cannot travel with them, he’s enlisted to serve alongside them. Private Wojtek finds himself helping to carry armaments at the fierce Battle of Monte Cassino. After the war, Wojtek's substitute parent, Peter, is reunited with his family in Scotland - and Wojtek finds a new home in Edinburgh Zoo.
