Recs if you like The Last Bear...

Bears in all their shapes and forms and across genres (this includes sentient teddybears and memoirs). If not friend why friend-shaped?! As long as the bear is plot or character relevant the book can land in here. Feel free to recommend books to be added (maybe also tell me why you think the bear functions as relevant for the story). We bear bears!

Getting kids reading is as important as teaching them about the natural world, so why not do both at once! Books range in ages, from 2-10+ years.
