With the arrival of spring, pollen
floats in the air and allergy sufferers find themselves coughing
and blowing their noses a lot. Baby Bear, the central character
in this book, has the same problem. The pollen he encounters
sticks to his fur and makes him itchy and sneezy.
Although the cub would rather not have to deal with pollen,
his friends explain to him why pollen is important and also
why without pollen many animals would go hungry.
Ideal for children four or five years of age, this paperback
will help parents or teachers explain why pollen is so necessary
in the natural growing process of many plants. Four pages
of hands-on learning activities at the end of the book will
help illustrate the importance of this sometimes irritating
substance that can make some individuals’ lives miserable.
If you’d like to introduce your child to role pollen
plays in the natural world around him or her, give this inexpensive
book a try.
