Prepping for my trip to Alaska to see the Kodiak bears and this book made me excited to see these beautiful creatures!

Incredible close-ups of bears in their habitats and lots of useful information about them and their lives. You'll find bears in trees, forests, dens, beaches, and all of the pictures are fascinating. Very short book, it's a quick read, and you could definitely do it in one day.
