Family-friendly, Old-fashioned Short Stories for All Ages!

A fun and captivating blend of humor and action/adventure stories featuring a new kind of “Action Hero.” This collection of six short stories, the first in a series, features Little Red Bear, an uncommonly special bear living in the scenic Ozarks Mountain Country just a little south of the Sweet Tea Line, with a great number of friends—woodland critters, barnyard animals and human folk alike.

Exciting and heartwarming stories feature colorful, fun and loveable characters with positive themes of friendship, helping others, kindness and overcoming challenges in life; blended with educational information on the ways of nature, the environment, conservation and a love of the outdoors.

Family-friendly reading entertainment told in an old-fashioned, story-telling tradition in a style and pace described by the author as “Country Comfortable”, the stories are suitable and fun for all age groups.

Join Little Red Bear and his friends on a series of thrilling and sometimes offbeat adventures in the scenic Ozarks Mountain Country. You never know who (or what) you may encounter while searching for honey or in an afternoon of fishing!

About the Author

James (Jim) Milson is an Eagle Scout, teddy bear artist and retired father of four children living on the outskirts of St. Louis, Missouri. When not busy creating teddy bears or bothering a guitar, he writes short stories, taking inspiration from bears created on his worktable, family life and years of woodland and outdoors experience in the Missouri Ozarks Mountain Country. Jim’s blog features other selected short works and poetry.

With notable family roots and history dating back to early Old Virginia, Kentucky, and earliest Missouri territory with a touch of Cherokee, he has been described as an offbeat mix of Mr. Rogers, Andy Griffith, Jeremiah Johnson and Sitting Bull, with a little Crazy Horse thrown in for good measure.

Jim, Little Red Bear and friends are currently in the backwoods working on more stories for the second collection of Little Red Bear adventures coming soon.

A book of friendship, fun, and adventure, with lovable characters.

May 12, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

"The Adventures of Little Red Bear: The First Holler Paperback," written by author James R. Milson is a great story of friendship and kindness.
Meet Little Red Bear in the Ozarks Mountain Country as he befriends many lovable characters. You will enjoy this relaxing story that is filled educational information as you maneuver your way through the great outdoors. I laughed out loud when I met the personalities in this tale.

I highly recommend this story for all readers, but especially, for a fun read a loud for families and classrooms. This book will open up many discussions of nature, facts, and feelings of compassion for others.

Great story Mr. Milson! Keep your stories coming!

I’ve been threatening to read a James Milson book for way too long and now that I finally have, it is clear that my instincts were right. Wonderfully told, almost beautiful I would say, this is a book to be read out loud to children, sadly mine are too old for that now but I will read it to my grand nieces and nephews at the first opportunity. The language is simple yet sumptuous in that it really does feel like the author is sitting by the fire with you. The accent of the locality comes through without being annoying and that is a skill in writing in itself. I love the names, Cinnamon Charlie, Bobo, Howdy, Packsaddle Pete and of course Little Red Bear. This is a book of quality and while I read everything on my Kindle, I think this is one of those books that would feel even more delicious in the flesh. Congratulations and thanks to an author who made me smile. Five well deserved Stars.

A Charming Collection of Tales Beautifully Written

September 2, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I bought this book as a birthday gift for my granddaughter, but purchased a Kindle copy for myself as well. I am so very glad I did. I love this book for several reasons. First and foremost, because it is a charming tale--or collection of tales--beautifully and amusingly written. Second, because it is just chock full of information about wildlife and nature and the outdoors and animals and all that stuff I'm interested in, and believe children need to learn. The setting is the Ozark Mountains, but anyone living just about anywhere can find familiar images and scenes with which to identify. But the really cool thing about this book is that its author refuses to "write down" to children. James Milson uses language and sentence structure that might actually challenge (gasp) young minds, while at the same time keeping adult readers from dozing off mid-sentence. Because here's the last thing I love about this book: It is meant to be read aloud to children. I think being read to as small children is what makes folks grow up to be readers. I highly recommend parents add "The Adventures of Little Red Bear: The First Holler:" to their children's read-aloud library.

I have been a fan of Jim's handmade teddy bears for a number of years. His venture into writing children's stories about bears and other animals is terrific. Be sure to look at the bears he has made, you will find one as a perfect companion to the book as a gift for a lucky child !

A charming collection of old-timey folk tales! Little Red Bear's adventures harken back to a time of genuine story-telling and down-home know-how and lore, the likes of which have nearly vanished. So get ready to say, "Howdy!" and settle back for these yarns of Red and his pals' adventures.

A great collection of short stories full of adventure, mystery, laughter, excitement, and a lot of fun characters/animals

April 26, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

My daughters and I really enjoyed this collection of short stories! There were so many great adventures in this book and we loved it from beginning to end! There was mystery, laughter, excitement, and a lot of fun characters. We used this as a read aloud for our homeschool, and it is great for vocabulary words, and science concepts as well. We really liked how the stories all tied together and we were all amazed when we finally learned how Little Red Bear was rescued from his ordeal in the beginning of the book.
We were laughing at the pig and how the bears couldn't understand him, yet everyone else could. It was funny how my kids wanted me to translate what the pig was saying since he spoke Pig Latin of course! It sure was interesting!
We are wondering what happened to the little pig, since we did not see him mentioned in the other book we read by the author. Howdy also was not in the second book, so we were wondering what happened to the little owl. We hope there are many more books to come about Little Red Bear. The author sure has a great story telling gift!
We would recommend this book for all ages, although younger children may get a little restless listening to the long chapters in the book. There are little diamonds in the chapters to suggest a resting period in the story to come back to read at a later time, since Little Red Bear seems to get long winded sometimes. I didn't mind, I loved the natural storytelling tone of the book.
5 stars all the way from my daughters and me!
We received this book as a gift and we wanted to leave our review for this wonderful story and encourage others to read it!
