Never Bug a Bear

by $

Canmore author and teacher Carol McTavish continues her mission to educate kids and adults to respect animal habitat in Never Bug a Bear, her fourth book. Like her previous books In the Path of Great Bear, Magic in the Mountains and Where Wolves are Wild, this latest children's book celebrates the mountain environment and the animals that live there. Each page takes the reader on a tour of a different animal habitat, providing facts and details on everything from food sources to sleeping patterns. Humphrey the "tourist" bug is the book's narrator, popping up on each page (and providing an interactive tool as readers are asked to "spot" him in the animal's habitat). The illustrations are beautiful, and clever verses keep the lessons lighthearted.

Ages: four to eight
