Three species of bear inhabit North America: the grizzly, the polar bear, and the black bear. But the American black bear is truly North America's bear, found only in North America. Black bears range from Canada to Mexico, from New England to California. There may be as many as 750,000 black bears roaming the forests and mountains of the continent. Stephen R. Swinburne takes young readers to where black bears live. He joins biologists in search of bears in the Pennsylvania woods, where a mother bear is examined and her cubs tagged. He visits a "schoolteacher" for orphaned cubs, who teaches them how to survive in the wild. Along the way, he offers his personal observations together with fascinating facts about black bears and their world. With stunning full-color and archival photographs, this lively book shows how North America's bear behaves and survives.
An introduction to the black bear, their behavior and habitat.

reviewed Black Bear: North America's Bear on April 13, 2016 Black Bear: North America's Bear
This is a very interesting book of poetry. It's actually a non-fiction book about a variety of interesting animals, not the kind you would find in a zoo. Each page has a poem about the animal, then two to three paragraphs about the animal, a picture and finally one interesting fact. The poems are silly and quirky but the best thing is that they relate back to the actual animal. For example, the poem about the Loris says,
"There's a loris in our chorus
Who is really fat and furry.
And that loris in our chorus
Is impossible to hurry!"
This is actually true. The loris does sing and it sings very slowly.
The illustrations are very life like and show the animal in its natural habitat. Some of animals covered are: the Babirusa, the Colugo, the Kinkajou, the Tasmanian Devil, and many more. At the back of the book are activities that go along with the text. There is one about rhyming, another about phonics, several comprehension activities, and many more.
I really liked this book. I thought it was a unique approach to a non-fiction book and it the activities would be very helpful for teachers. I would recommend the book to students interested in animals or those being required to complete an project about animals. Although it is a picture book, the vocabulary, text size, and content lend it to an older audience. Highly Recommended Grades 4 - 6.
