Bears is a well illustrated and engaging look at a broad range of bears aimed at young readers (~6-9 years, Lexile 560L) in a series of books about animals and how they're classified. Released 1st Aug by Mackin on their North Star Editions imprint, it's 24 pages and is available in hardcover (library binding) and paperback formats.
Animals are fascinating, and this is cool introduction to bears of all kinds, full of info related in age-accessible language and abundantly illustrated with color photographs throughout. Small interesting facts are scattered throughout the book in colorful highlighted text boxes.
It's part of a set of books with volumes which feature a host of other animal families. The illustrations are clear and easy to understand/engage with. The author/publisher have also included an abbreviated glossary, index, and some discussion/quiz questions at the end.
Five stars. Age appropriate, colorful, engaging, and well illustrated throughout. It would be an excellent choice for public/school/or classroom library, home library, or gift giving.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
