Set over a 24-hour period, meet black bears, grizzlies, and cute polar bear cubs in this kids’ non-fiction book by expert Don Hardeman Jr.
Journey into forests around the world to follow the lives of these furry creatures as they play, hunt, and fight their way through their day. Biologist and black bear expert Don Hardeman Jr. tells the story of the world’s most amazing bears in the style of a nature documentary, including gentle science explanations of topics such as hibernation that are perfect for future biologists. Witness incredible moments including:
• Grizzlies plucking salmon out of the air as they attempt to swim upstream
• The dramatic battle between a sloth bear and a tiger
• A sun bear using its gigantic tongue to get honey from a beehive
Beautifully illustrated by Rebecca Mills and packed with animal facts, Bears (A Day in the Life) encourages kids to look at the roles these incredible mammals play in ecosystems across the globe, and why it’s important we protect them.
Also available: Bugs, Big Cats, Sharks, Horses, Birds, Frogs
