Brown Bear

Children's Literature - Debra Briatico

This new title from the "Animal Close-Up" series examines the physical characteristics, habits, and habitats of the brown bear. Breathtaking, full-color photographs take a close-up look at these amazing animals and perfectly capture their everyday activities such as bathing, eating, climbing trees, settling in their dens, raising their young, and protecting their territory. Short, informative paragraphs provide interesting facts and a compelling conclusion discusses the challenges these giant bears face in the wild and the precautions being used to save them. This title will make an excellent addition to a young scientist's nonfiction home library.
