They do a good job informing us and I love the pictures.

I hear you though about reluctant readers and the possibility of them snoozing off if it is text-heavy. As an adult, though, I am sure that this is something I'd enjoy going over. Perhaps if there is more guided adult supervision, the reluctant readers would be more keen on reading through it? :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915041119468051754.post-69143787058986851422012-05-21T11:22:14.203-05:002012-05-21T11:22:14.203-05:00I know!

Have you seen the film Grizzly Man by Werner Herzog? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427312/ Herzog's style doesn't suit everyone, but I thought this was an amazing film about bears and loving them (parents may wish to find out more about the film before letting kids watch it as the ending is rather shocking)Playing by the bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761644438775249830noreply@blogger.com
