El Oso Pardo

Meet the amazing brown bear! Introduce elementary kids to these big beasts, including grizzlies and Kodiaks. From the large bears in Alaska to their smaller cousins in Europe and Asia, brown bears of all sizes are awe-inspiring animals. Readers explore these bears' appearance, behavior, and habitat with STEM-appropriate text and gorgeous photography. An end story retells the Greek myth of how Ursa Major and Minor formed in the sky. A great nonfiction resource for student reports, animal units, and life science lessons. Includes table of contents, index, same-page definitions, and further resources.
