The Cape Cod Bear is a book for Primary School aged children that I rescued from a used book store. Before passing it along, of course I read it.
The story of "Barney" truly occurred during 2012, and is followed in the book based on true sightings of the bear as it moved around Cape Cod, and eventually was relocated to the woods on the mainland.
The story, written by Kathleen Ready Dayan, was well written and will encourage a preteen reader to explore some new words and follow his progress on the illustrated map. The illustrations by Kate Walls are crisp and detailed, but uncluttered by unnecessary extras.
I have never wanted to visit Cape Cod before, but now I will have to add it to the list.
