"Pallenberg Wonder Bears - From the Beginning is a captivating narrative you couldn't have dreamed up, but won't want to put down. I've been in publishing for a long time and at this point it takes something really unique to raise my eyebrows -- and this story certainly did, from the very first page."

They weave together the fascinating story of the world's most famous bear act through newly revealed documents and rare photographs that transport the reader back to an era when audiences marveled at Emil Pallenberg's skillful training and embraced the performances of his amazing bears."
