Lots of great facts in this book! I like the nonfiction text features of captioned photographs, table of contents, glossary, and index. I like this particular book for the connection to Michigan as they have been seen in Michigan in my lifetime, but it is the mascot of a local team which builds interest in the animal. I knew they were evasive, I knew they were big, I knew they were losing habitat due to humans (the story of most wild animals). I learned a bit more details about their ability to withstand cold, storing of food for winter (like squirrels), and how they survive bitter cold in the winter. Bearport Publishing has done a stand up job here and I will look for this publisher when I add books to my collection. I am sure there will be other series that fit my needs.
