Very Hairy Bear by Alice Schertle

Very Hair Bear lives in the woods and each season he eats something different. In the spring, he eats salmon from the river, in the summer he licks honey from a bee tree and eats round and fat blueberries, and in the fall he eats the squirrel's acorns. However, in winter time as some of the other animals in the woods, he goes into a deep sleep (hibernates). This is a beautifully illustrated book with soft colors that go with each season. I would highly recommend this book for a Science lesson on seasons and to lower grades. The picture book is fun to read and children can learn what goes on in the woods during the different seasons.
