Something About A Bear by Jackie Morris

Let me tell you something, something about a bear...

Here are eight majestic wild bears, brought to life in breathtaking watercolour paintings. Brown Bear, Black Bear, Polar Bear, Sloth Bear, Spectacled Bear, Sun Bear, Moon Bear. All are gloriously depicted, with lyrical descriptions of their lives in the wild.

But of all the bears in the wild, wide world, which is the best bear of all? Your teddy bear, of course!

Kate Greenaway medallist Jackie Morris, acclaimed illustrator of the international bestseller, The Lost Words, has created this spectacular gallery of bears to instil a love of wild places and a respect for all creatures.

Something About A Bear Reviews

A new large-format edition of Jackie Morris's ode to bears... Each turn of the page takes us to the natural environment of one sort of bear or another starting with Brown Bear watching salmon in a river... The very essence of each one of the magnificent ursine creatures is captured in Jackie Morris's awesome paintings.

-- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub *

This new, large-format edition of the 2014 book 'Something About A Bear' is truly nothing short of a masterpiece...The most phenomenal, double-page watercolour paintings throughout this book bring to life eight different species of bear from all over the world; delicately and lovingly drawn in their natural habitats. Morris is undoubtedly a one-of-a-kind talent...

Whether you're an adult or child, if you're a lover of bears, then quite simply this is the perfect book for you... Both an engaging, high-quality picture book and educational tool, the very fact that 'of all the bears in the wild wide world, the very best bear of all is YOUR bear' will fill any child with pure love and delight.
