My Favorite Bear

My Favorite Bear

This reassuring, easy-to-read bedtime story for toddlers sweetly introduces the eight species of bears around the world as a mother bear soothes her cub to sleep. Richly textured and realistic illustrations wrap readers in the warmth of this loving story. Additional facts at the end of the book for young naturalists to grow with make this the perfect book for parents and little cubs to share. "A taste of natural history for very young children to ponder." Andrea Gabriel lives with her cat Jasper in Seattle, Washington, where she can often be found lurking in coffee shops on rainy afternoons. Much of her time is spent drawing, writing, or talking with schoolchildren, but she also loves visiting with friends and family or hiking in the Cascades. She hopes one day to thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail. She has illustrated several children's books, including WHERE DO I SLEEP?, which won the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Book Award. MY FAVORITE BEAR is the first book she has both written and illustrated.
