Book of the Beast Trilogy Series by Robert Stallman

The werewolf is a creature of the night, a solitary, fur-covered thing. A wild-eyed, five-clawed beast with a taste for blood and the soft crunch of bone between the teeth.But as little Robert, the werewolf has been adopted by a kindly old farmer and his wife. Neither Robert nor the monster could control the shifting of its form, and always, the emerged beast lurked within, ready to spring for the throat...

A mysterious bear-like beast that is able to assume the form of a human being tries to learn how people live by adopting a human family.
