All of these books are excellent. Great photography. Hilariously, my daughter thinks the sloth bear (but only that bear) is a duck.

The vocab section at the beginning is helpful and reminds you of the words your child probably won’t know. And overall it’s great explanation of what different types of bears, what they do, etc.

Really appreciate this book as bears are frequently featured in children’s literature and toys and it is valuable to have a good, realistic book about them.

My 5-year-old really enjoyed this magazine. It was our first time reading a digital magazine together, and I'm so glad that it was available on our library app.

This pre-reader level was a bit difficult for her (it contains words like "Andean" and "Asiatic" and "climb") but perfect for reading together.

This series of early readers are awesome. Titles include Frogs, Meerkats,Ponies, Tigers, and even Robots. Great way to get your budding reader interested in reading AND non-fiction. Engaging facts and photos.

A simple introduction to different kinds of bears from all over the world.

I like the variety of bears included in this. It isn't just the typical ones you'd expect. The photos are vibrant and engaging, and the text is simple but provides just enough info for the target readers.

A simple reader that introduces different kinds of bears and things they do with vivid colorful photographs. A perfect beginner nonfiction book for toddlers and preschool-age children.
