Back in October we mentioned Wojtek, the bear soldier. We mentioned a couple of great books about him but a friend of the blog posted a comment letting us know there’s a new bear in town . . . historical novel version of the story. And we thought, Pearl Harbor Day . . . why not share a WWII story?
This one features many stories from ab old army buddy of Wojtek, so definitely worth having. This recent historical novel called `Private Wojtek Soldier Bear’ is by Krystyna Mikula- Deegan whose uncle served with Wojtek’s own Artillery Company during WW2. The story is written from this soldier’s point of view.

Thank you for your lovely comments about me and my new book, `Private Wojtek Soldier Bear’ by Krystyna Mikula-Deegan.
I really appreciate it and I do hope people enjoy reading about me.
I think it would be wonderful if my book was also easily available in the U.S!
Happy Christmas!
Wojtek.
