Shannon Sycks.
Overly dark colored-pencil drawings accompany this story of a bear cub's day. Under his mother's watchful eye, he encounters smells, tastes, and surprises as he ventures into his woodland world. The realistic narrative imparts basic information about bear cub behavior. A few questions and answers about American black bears are appended.
