Description: This is the story of Beboo, a baby sloth bear. Beboo lives in the jungle. Many other bears are not so lucky. They are caught by humans and made to dance on the streets of towns and cities for entertainment. This is also their story. With the aid of telling photographs, the plight of the bears is communicated with sensitivity and wisdom. Every year, bear cubs are poached and sold into the infamous bear dancing trade. We can help stop this cruel practice and ensure that bears like Beboo and her brother remain in the wild where they belong.
