Review
A nonfiction picture book is part of a series about comparing animal traits and has a very narrow focus but does what it set out to do. The grizzly bear is highlighted, traits are compared to wolverines, three-banded armadillos, wild boars, black-footed ferrets, striped skunks, American bison, jaguars and titi monkeys. Illustrated with stock photos and charts for each animal to compare each to the grizzly bear, and maps. All are appropriately labeled. Children will learn all about the grizzly bear, formatted in four chapters, includes table of contents, glossary, selected bibliography, further information, index and complementary educational resources from the publisher's website.
Overall Book Score: good
