This is a story of a bear named Olaf and his friend, Essex, who is a fox. When Olaf comes across two witches in the park, his presence scares the witches enough that they leave without taking the baby with them, the baby they were attempting to kidnap in order to force the Chief Magic Detector to leave the magical community alone.

But this baby isn’t just any baby. It’s the son of the Chief Magic Detector.

Olaf really feels for this baby, he was just a cub when his mother died, and his tender heart tells him that they need to care for the baby until they can find the parents, so Olaf and Essex go in search of who they believe is the mother, only to see her turn her husband into a frog.

Olaf and Essex do their best to care for the baby, and to keep him healthy and well fed, while at the same time keeping this magical baby safe and sound, and attempting to find the baby’s real mother and return the baby to her, and keeping the baby away from her father.

There’s a lot of mischief going on in this story, which is all in the name of keeping the baby safe and sound, sprinkled with a dose of magical charm, as well.
