Please Don’t Feed the Bears

Please Don’t Feed the Bears

Author: Allan Fowler
Genre: Non-Fiction
Grade: 1st grade and up


The book talks about the different kinds of bears. How the black bears look like brown bears but they are not and they have different characteristics. They eat only vegetables and they like to roam around and dig around. Black bears are shy and they are curious and watchful. The Brown bears are the biggest of all bears. If you encounter a black bear, just keep walking and do not mind them, just keep a walking distance and do not bother them. They like to dig around especially in campsites or trash can bins. If you encounter a brown bear, stand still or play dead. The Polar bears live up north where the ice are. They like to hunt fish and other sea animals. They live in the Arctic, where it is really cold. In the end, do not feed the bears because they will ask for more.

I really like this book because it is very informative about the different types and characteristics of bears. The visual of this book are actual pictures that were taken. It is a very insightful book and it will go well if my lesson is about science related topics or characteristics of something. I will definitely read this in my class because the students will learn what to do when they see a bear or when they are camping. It also teaches the differences of the kinds of bears in the world, which is very informative.
