A Bear's Year

By Kathy Duval

Book Overview

"In this gorgeous celebration about the passing of seasons, readers will follow a mother bear and her cubs through the course of a year. Deep in her den under a snowflake blanket, Mama snuggles her newborn babies. When spring arrives, the bears awaken and emerge from their lair, and as the weather warms to summer, Mama teaches her young ones to fish, gather berries, and dig for roots. Then, in fall, the leaves turn gold, food grows scarce, and the family prepares for hibernation and the coming winter. With spare, accessible text combined with charming illustrations, here's a sweet, gentle introduction to how bears experience the changing seasons, perfect for the youngest readers and listeners."

Loved it so much had to buy it!

We love the library and often just check out children’s books from there however I found myself checking this one out so often it didn’t feel fair to other kids haha the story is beautiful and illustrates the passing seasons wonderfully. It’s a must for any seasonally minded family!
