One day a little girl accompanies her conservationist father as he
tags a big black hibernating bear. Nestled beside her are two tiny
cubs, a male and a female. The child names them Fraser and
Samantha. She will remember them always, and one day will see
Fraser again. Fraser Bear follows the first two years in a black
bear cub's life in the Pacific Northwest--from his first tentative
steps outside his mother's den to the day when, alone now, he must
find his own den for the winter's sleep. In between, his life is
filled with play, learning, adventure, and the endless quest for
food. Most important, he tries to learn the skill of salmon
catching from his mother. Eventually Fraser must leave the
protection of his mother and sister and journey on by himself. This
exciting story is illuminated by beautiful illustrations of Fraser
and his adventures, uniting the cycles of bear and fish, whose
lives are so importantly intertwined. A map of the area, glossary,
and further information about bears and salmon complete this
delightful nature story for young readers.
