Our Three Bears
Grade 2–5—North America's bears—black, grizzly, and polar—are introduced in this attractive presentation made compelling by Mangelsen's full-color photographic delights. Bear mothers and babies are featured throughout, with a mother with two cubs decorating the endpapers, verso, and title page. Starting with the black bear and moving from close-ups to action shots, the creatures are shown eating, sleeping, sitting, standing, climbing, running, and swimming. Hirschi reveals the differences in each bear's hibernation patterns, habitats, diets, size, and population estimates. These short paragraphs are chock-full of information. Beginning researchers as well as young wildlife enthusiasts will findOur Three Bearswell suited to their interests.—Nancy Call, Santa Cruz Public Libraries, Aptos, CACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
