Max’s comments:
In this book there is a little bear that lives in the woods with his family. His mom tells him not to go by the campsites but he does anyway. The people feed him a sandwich and it gives him a tummy ache. Then he goes back another time and he gives them some berries. That is the food that bears eat.
I like this book but you really aren’t supposed to feed bears. That isn’t a good idea. You shouldn’t go by baby bears at all either because their moms might think you are going to hurt them. I go camping a lot so that is why I know that. Some people might read this book and go camping and think that it is okay to feed bears. That would be a mistake. “A Gift from Little Bear” is a good pretend story though. I like the pictures.
