A book I read to my daughter in the 70s about a man (Russian?) who had a (Russian?) dancing bear. The man had 3 unique things about him: (1) he could juggle 3(?) balls, (2) he was kind, and (3) can’t remember the third.
Book is in English and short enough for a child’s attention.
“The Bear and the People” by Reiner Zimnik
The three things were: speaking the language of the bear; kindness, and juggling seven balls.
Originally in german, english translation published 1971
