About This Book

A grizzly bear charges through the forest, its powerful paws pounding the ground as it searches for food. Nearby, a curious black bear cub watches from behind a tree, wondering if it’s safe to come out. Suddenly, a rustling sound stops them both—what could be lurking just out of sight?
