We Love Bears!
In America, we live with Black Bears, Brown or Grizzly Bears and in the farthest parts of the north, the magical white Polar Bear.
Children are also fascinated with Bears. I have never known a child who did not snuggle and love and plush little stuffed teddy bear.
Because there are so many myths about bears and yet so
Alexandra's Bears (www.lillunia.com, not currently posted)
much fascination, it is important that we introduce our children early to this extraordinary group of mammals. A nice introduction for children is:
Bears For Kids (2007) by Jeff Fair was updated and republished in 2007 and is perhaps the most authoritative children's book on black bears. Photos and text emphasize northeastern Minnesota.
In America's collective imagination, we have the lovable Teddy Bear, named for President Theodore Roosevelt, as well as the cherished Winnie the Pooh, Paddington Bear, Yogi Bear & Boo Boo, Care bears, Smokey the Bear, Fozzie Bear (from The Muppet Show), The three Bears (friends of Goldilocks), Gummi bears, Rupert, Corduroy, Little John (from Disney’s Robin Hood cartoon) and the Berenstain Bears. Baloo, from the Jungle Book is a Sloth bear.
With so much cultural love for the bear, we owe it to ourselves and our children to try to understand them and educate our children early about what bears are, how they live and raise their cubs and to show them the importance of our collective effort to preserve the world we all share so we...and bears can thrive.
