Her story begins as an Ursid Shirley Temple, a cute blond phenom amid the real-life Shangri la of Glacier National Park's most scenic mountain valley. In time, however, the curtsying knockout zoomed to Princess Diana-sized celebrity, demanding more than admiring glances and the flashing bulbs of paparazzi cameras. It was those outsized demands and an ever-growing haughtiness that attracted official attention.

Most Awesome Book I Have Ever Read,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chocolate Legs: Sweet Mother Savage Killer? (Paperback)
This is the most awesome book I have ever read, and I love to read. This is a must-read for anyone who is interested in wildlife. Besides being totally intriguing, it can change the very way you look at life. Roland Cheek always puts out great books, but he hit the jackpot with this one!

chocolate legs,
By mike (Ronan MT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chocolate Legs: Sweet Mother Savage Killer? (Paperback)
The book Chocolate Legs by Roland Cheek is worth reading. He describes the Story line really well and he tells in realistic detail. Roland Cheek writes about things about the problems that they had with the bear. I would recommend this book to anyone even if they weren't from Montana.

This review is from: Chocolate Legs: Sweet Mother Savage Killer? (Paperback)
I love the folksy style of author Roland Cheek. He is not a bear biologist, but he knows his bears!!!I just finished reading this book for a second time, and I feel another star is due. Maybe the best part of this book is that Roland Cheek is NOT A BEAR BIOLOGIST!!!!
