About this book
Finding enough to eat becomes a daily test for a bear learning to live in the woods. Clarence Hawkes gives Black Bruin the shape of an animal biography, combining a young bear's adventures with observations about feeding, winter shelter, climbing and the senses. An introductory survey presents the author's account of bears in different climates, while the story follows the particular difficulties of one animal.
In the forest episode, Black Bruin wakes hungry after a long flight and searches beneath stones and rotten logs for food. His confidence grows with a successful hunt, then meets a sharp correction when he approaches a skunk. Hawkes builds these scenes around the gap between a bear's strength and his limited experience. Written for younger readers, the book offers woodland encounters, moments of comedy and danger, and a picture of survival learned through trial and error.
