Finally, our real story
The ultimate children’s non-fiction book about bears
Author did extensive research observing bears in Alaska

Bears are one of the most famous animal species on planet Earth. You would think a book about them wouldn’t be necessary anymore. But you might be wrong. There are a lot of prejudices and assumptions about bears flying around. In fact, the average bear is not a monster nor a cuddly animal, the panda is secretly very smart, the koala is not a bear at all and the average grizzly has better things to do than to constantly devour humans. In Us Bears, eight different bear species finally get to speak for themselves and tell
their real story.
Including the Black Bear, Polar Bear, Grizzly Bear, Panda, Sloth Bear, Sun Bear, Spectacled Bear and Asiatic Black Bear.
