The Bear Prince is a collection of three folktales from a fictional universe. When small magics are real, what stories do parents tell their children at night? What tales do storytellers spin, so their listeners will toss them a few coins?
In "The Bear Prince," being kind-hearted brings rewards, but being sensible brings greater ones. "The Princess and the Sheep's Wool" implies the priorities of royalty, when magic potions are a real threat. Meanwhile, "The Jewel of Moon and Starlight" is a tale of vanquishing an evil dragon with cleverness, bravery, and compassion. An afterword provides adults with thoughts on the fictional culture that could spawn these stories, but they can be read to children as easily as any traditional fairy tale.

The Bear Prince eBook Elizabeth McCoy Reviews
This three-story book contains fairy tales set in an alternate world where magic is possible. The first story is about a poor young girl's encounter with the eponymous bear prince, the second is a take on the Princess and the Pea, and the third concerns an intrepid young girl who comes up against a dragon. They contain lessons in behavior suitable for young children. A wonderful world for children and those adults who are fond of fairy tales.
A collection of fairy tales that feel like the eldest you've found dream-like and strange and yet familiar. My favorite of the three was the Bear Prince, with its pale palette and sense of escape through virtue; but "The Jewel of Moon and Starlight" was haunting and passing-strange in that "who thinks of these things?" way, with details to match, and "The Princess and the Sheep's Wool" is a fine retelling of the Princess and the Pea, with smell rather than touch as the royal tell-tale.
If I have an objection to these, it's that they are too few. You end up in their psychological space, and just as you're accustomed to it, the e-book is over. Stories like this for me work best if they either stand alone, and are over so quickly they feel like a needle to the arm, or so long a collection that you can become adrift in them.
