Great Crystal Bear

by Carolyn Lesser, William Noonan (Illustrations)

Blending poetic language and scientific fact, Carolyn Lesser explores how one magnificent bear lives throughout the year. Impressionistic paintings follow the bear as he hunts, swims, plays, and journeys in the far north. €œLyrical in tone and accurate in zoological detail, the narrative is ideal for one-on-one sharing.€--School Library Journal

This book is definitely for an older audience. There was a lot of information presented, which was nice for kids that wanted to learn about Polar bears but presented in a story format. I do not see younger kids enjoying this too much because of the lengthy words and pages. The pictures were nice but this definitely not a quick story time read.
I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I found this very entertaining as well as educational.

The illustrations in the book are nice. The writing and wording is nice. The language is flowing and pretty.

However...very long and drawn out. Felt more like a poetry book--something for tweens or even Teens. It was took long for me and I am afraid it would lose interest for the younger kids. Still interesting fact, imagination and information.
