King of Bears

A little grizzly she-bear named Razvedchitsa was separated from her mother and brother due to an unfortunate accident. The forest is beautiful, but it’s full of dangers—especially for a year-old cub that can’t yet defend itself. She needs to grow and become stronger, but Razvedchitsa doesn’t know how—though she does know about a gigantic old bear with no name. This giant, the unofficial king of the forest and of all bears, turns out to be nearby and takes in the lost cub. Thanks to him, she learns what it means to be a grizzly. This is a story about an unlikely friendship, as well as a dangerous and exciting adventure on the way to wild waters teeming with salmon and trout. All descriptions of bear life and habits are absolutely accurate, and the story’s heroes are based on real grizzlies from Yellowstone National Park in the USA. The book includes touching black-and-white illustrations. At the end, young readers will find answers to the most popular questions about grizzlies. For middle grade readers.
