Publisher's Summary:
Three species of bear inhabit North America: the grizzly, the polar bear, and the black bear. But the American black bear is truly North America's bear, found only in North America. Black bears range from Canada to Mexico, from New England to California. There may be as many as 750,000 black bears roaming the forests and mountains of the continent. With its large population, and with more people moving into black bear territory, it's important that we understand this magnificent animal. Stephen R. Swinburne takes us to where black bears live. He joins biologists in search of bears in the Pennsylvania woods, where a mother bear is examined and her cubs tagged. He visits a "school teacher" for orphaned cubs who teaches them how to survive in the wild. Along the way, he offers his personal observations together with fascinating facts about black bears and their world. (Did you know that in the autumn, black bears consume as much as twenty thousand calories a day? That's equivalent to forty-two hamburgers!) With stunning full-color and archival photographs, this lively book shows how North America's bear behaves and survives.

CHILDRENS' BEAR BOOK;
VERY THIN AND HARDLY ANY PHOTOS OF BLACK BEARS. EASY TO READ TEXT FOR KIDS. MY NEW-USED COPY WAS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE INSIDE 2 OUT, VERY CHEAP, AND WAS AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY. I WAS QUITE SAD TO SEE THAT THE PUBLISHER COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THAT A BOOK ON BLACK BEARS COULD USE SOME BLACK-BEAR PHOTOS. HELLO. ANYWAY, NO COMPLAINTS WITH THE BOOKSELLERS....BUT THIS BEAR BOOK IS NOT WORTH GETTING BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH BLACK BEAR PICS TO SEE.
Wow barely 30 pages.......what a rip....
Black Bear: North America's Bear....Not worth 10.00 ....Wow barely 30 pages.......nice pictures...but how crazy it's more a childrens book I will be sending to the public library!~

Black Bear: North America's Bear
Great book, with good accurate information and very wonderful pictures. I am a black bear lover and follower of the bears in Minnesota. Thank you for a really good book.
Excellent
We live in black bear territory, my grandchildren are very excited about it, and wanted to know about them. The book was wonderful, pictures were great, text was a little hard but I was able to talk them through it.
Thanks
