£11.99
A Book of Bears invites you to meet bears in their habitat. Therefore, we travel to the North America to encounter American Black Bears, Glacier Bears and Kermode Bears. We learn about what they eat ad how American Black Bears have adapted to living in national parks! At the bottom of one of the double pages, we compare the sizes of the adult male and female bears, and cubs.
Other bears include Giant Panda, Polar Bears, Spectacled Bears and Asiatic black bears. The last are known for their bipedal strength. One of the bears drawn on this double page by Katie Viggers suggests it keeps ‘strong with a bit of weightlifting‘. In fact, like the Polar bear, the Asiatic black bear has incredible upper body strength, all the better for ‘exploring their surroundings.’
The information in this book is so interesting, and the comparisons useful and fascinating. However, it’s in the presentation that A Book of Bears comes up trumps. Through presenting the book as an illustrated title, with first (person) bear characters within each introduction, there’s a freshness, humour and direct appeal.
A Book of Bears is a delight to read, share and keep. We are proud to recommend this book to our readers.
