Juicy berries, crunchy nuts, tender grubs, sticky honey—that’s good bear food. But if little park visitors and their families don’t watch out, their food will be bear food, too! The bouncy rhyming text and vibrant pictures in this board book show how people of all ages can help keep bears safe and thriving. “A great introduction to enjoying nature without disturbing its rhythms.” —Foreword Reviews “Humans can play an important role in keeping bears safe by ensuring our food is securely tucked away. Readers aren’t going to miss the noble, not-so-subtle theme of this educational board book: that humans must “take care or bears will eat your food!” On the left-hand page of each spread, a diverse assemblage of picnickers, campers, and hikers plainly demonstrate various methods of keeping bears away from tempting people-food, including locking up coolers, using bear-safe containers, and appropriately disposing of trash…” –Kirkus Reviews Love Can Come in Many WaysWritten by Terry Pierce.

NOTE: Oops! Sometimes mistakes happen despite our best efforts! Upon publication, we discovered the backmatter information for the Ariel toucan was incorrect (actually, a completely different bird was inserted, the Amazon red-tailed parrot). Please note the following information for the beautiful Ariel toucans illustrated in the book: Ariel toucan Ariel toucans live in forested lowlands and foothills of Brazil, often near water. They nest and roost in tree holes, where they lay clutches of two to four eggs. Toucans eat mostly fruits and berries. Their declining population in recent decades is due largely to deforestation for cattle ranching and soy production. Forest removal affects their food sources and habitats. Additionally, we realize that Vaquita are porpoises, not dolphins. This correction will also be made in future reprints. Jack and Jill and T-Ball BillWritten by Terry Pierce.
