Part of the "First Facts: Bears" series, this is an engaging introduction to a very popular animal. Readers first learn about the relative size and appearance of black bears. Next, the author discusses the personality, tactic, and habitat of the bears. Black bears range over much of North America; they exist mostly on roots and berries but also eat small animals and fish. The bears hibernate in dens during the winter. Their cubs spend their first few months in those dens and are taught to hunt for food. Throughout the story, many odd facts help to maintain interest. Numerous color and action-filled photos provide an excellent backdrop for learning about the bears. Reference aids include a table of contents, brief glossary, "Read More" and "Internet Sites" sections, and an index. These references make this a valuable resource. The writing is simple enough for younger children but filled with enough information to be valuable for middle grades. Reviewer: Sue Poduska
