Amazon Description--You can tell a bear by what it has. You can tell a bear by what it does, too! Bears teaches young learners all about these majestic, furry creatures.

With full-page photographs and simple text, this engaging nonfiction book is sure to capture readers’ attention and spark their curiosity about the animal kingdom.

Bears is a Step-1/Level-1, early reader book. Each page opening has one sentence, each of very simple words. The sentences focus on the attributes of bears, including their eyes, claws, teeth, tails, and more. Each page has a zoomed-out picture and a zoomed-in picture of the topic of that page. Various bear types are used, from the commonly known polar, brown, and panda, but also some of the less commonly known bears, such as the sloth, are included.

If your child has any interest in bears, then this is the early reader book for them. I love finding books that fit my children's interests and reading level. It makes getting them to read easier and is more enjoyable for everyone.

Bears is a 4-Star Level-1 reader. There shouldn't be any words that your early reader would stumble over. There are repeated words as each sentence takes on the same pattern: A bear has... Have you or your child read Bears? What did you think? Let me know!
