And releasing the sun

Head reeling and dizzy, Bear Backwards Bartholomew swears revenge

And Davy quickly skedaddles

And so she says goodbye to her family and sets off on life's journey

Using her wits and wiles, Sally Ann survives the seasons and befriends many animals along the way

Known for digging herself a mammoth cave, clearing the Cumberland Gap and defending her fabulous pies from hungry alligators, Sally Ann becomes renowned for her selfless heart and heroic actions
