My Kid Review

Kids are curious about animals. Kids Ask About Bears  answers 36 questions about bears. The information is provided in short bite-sized pieces making this a good book for younger children.  It could be used if a child has to do a report about bears.

The illustrations are realistic and seem accurate. Children will enjoy looking at the pictures even if they can’t read. 

The book could have had a little better editing. The pronouns used could confuse young readers. Several times the author uses the pronoun “who” when “what” would have been a better choice. Who is only to be used for people and bears are not people. For example “who are bears” should be “what are bears.”

Other than my concerns about pronoun use, I think that Kids Ask About Bears is appropriate for a K-12 Christian  school library. 

I received a complimentary copy of Kids Ask About Bears. This is my honest review.
