Come along with Bear as he roams his wilderness home, doing what a wild bear should.
This lush, poetic look at the real-life habits of a black bear cub in his first autumn shows his growing independence, the mother-cub bond, and the glorious wonders of nature, all wrapped in a warm bear hug of a picture book.
Bear loves his home, his wilderness home,
the warm amber fields and the beauty of home,
as he steps out at sunset to forage and roam . . .
What do bears love to do? Eat! Bear has learned how to find tasty, natural foods from his mama, who can be spotted by readers on every gorgeous page, keeping a close eye on her little one.
This book is perfect as:
- A bedtime, carpet-time, picnic-time read-loud
- Early environmental & stewardship education
- Part of the solution to keep bears safe and wild
