Grizzly Bears

America's Animal Comebacks Grizzly Bears: Grade:2-7-recommended for younger students and special education students in older grades. Biologists John and Frank Craighead study grizzly bears through the use of tracking devices such as radio collars. Their work, which ultimately led to the bear's recovery and removal from the endangered species list, will fascinate younger readers. This is one of nine books in the American Comebacks series, which provides narrative nonfiction at a basic level for elementary students and reluctant readers in middle school. The goal of the series is to build enthusiasm for science reading. Each book features about 100 words per double-paged spread, a fact page about an endangered animal, a one-page glossary, a brief bibliography, and additional resources. Colored photographs and habitat maps enhance the text. While none of the books provide in-depth coverage of the issues surrounding the content, they might provide a good introduction for younger or less able students.
