" Waiting for Goliath is the best sort of story that surprises you every time, even though you know what is going to happen. The bear is the most faithful of friends and a very good waiter." Julia Marshall, Publisher

A warm and surprising story about waiting for a friend Bear has been waiting since dawn. "I'm waiting for Goliath," he tells everyone. "Goliath is coming! He's my best friend ...He'll definitely show up. You'll see!" Bear waits patiently for his friend. The robins fly to the south and the first snow falls. When Bear awakes from a long sleep, he hears a noise like a hand sliding slowly across paper. Goliath is coming! But his identity is a big surprise.
