Good introduction to the world of bears. Clear, concise text. Included are bears one does not typically hear about in a kids book - sloth bears and speckled bears. Also talks about animals that are not bears - koalas and red pandas.
I received an ebook copy from Sequoia Kids Media.

I received this as an eGalley. This is a good entry-level book for students curious about bears. The reading level is just right for primary students, but it is still educational. The ancillary materials on the publisher's website are pretty basic, but very attractive, as is the book. I was disappointed that the polar bear page only mentioned the white fur, not the dark skin the bear has to absorb warmth.

I also noticed that Goodreads has a 2000 version that looks the same, but this has a 2022 copyright. I am not sure if anything was changed.
