Even though I am a grandma and I thought I knew a lot about bears, I was pleasantly surprised to learn some new bear facts after reading this book. I learned that American Black Bears are not always black and they don't eat humans. Black bears talk to each other by leaving marks on trees. They can swim and climb trees, too.I learned about some new kinds of bears I had not previously heard of: Kermode Bear, Cinnamon Bear, Pakistan Black Bear, and Formosan Black Bear. I learned that Asian Black Bears build their nests in trees. Panda Bears are nearly extinct and they do not hibernate like other bears. I enjoyed reading about Sloth Bears, Stickney Bears, Spectacled Bears, and the smallest bears of all, Sun Bears.I had never heard of Ursid Hybrids, bears born of two different species of bear parents. Reading about them reminded me of the designer dogs that are so popular now.I highly recommend this well written, fact filled book to parents, grandparents, teachers, and bear lovers.
