On the Trail of the Grizzly

by Carol A. Amato

Published 1 January 1997
This series for elementary-level classrooms serves a double purpose. The books help develop children's reading skills, and introduce concepts of natural science. Handsome illustrations are scientifically accurate.

David and Kate are staying with their grandmother in Alaska, when one day they encounter a mother grizzly bear and her cubs. Frightened, the children play dead, and the bear does not attack them. When summer arrives, the kids hike with their grandmother and see the grizzlies and other animals in their natural environment.
