My kids and I all love each book we’ve read from the Smithsonian Backyard series. We have purchased many for our own library at home. All of the books are realistic in both storyline and illustrations. They are engaging with a storybook feel, and pack in just enough interesting nonfiction facts which are told naturally throughout the book. The illustrations are detailed and beautiful, with plenty of colors and interesting elements.
This book follows a mother black bear and her two cubs. They live close to humans but are mostly afraid of them and try to avoid them while finding food, cooling off in the water, and napping during the afternoon.
