World Bear Day celebrates all types of bears! Moon bears, sun bears, spectacled bears, sloth bears, black and brown bears! There are eight species of bears and six of these are considered vulnerable or threatened according to the IUCN Red List.
We have just celebrated Polar Bear Day and Panda Day, so now we can focus on the other bears. Start with a book like Meet the Bears by Kate Peridot, A Book of Bears by Katie Viggers or Something About a Bear by Jackie Morris which introduce the eight bears and where to find them.
Then, here are some books that give positive messages about saving bears.
And coming later this year, this book by Catherine Barr.
In the past I have used picture books to look at Bears in Captivity. You can see some of the books I used for this unit on this Pinterest page.
