Description
Robyn is determined to put some excitement in her summer holiday by seeing some bears.
Quick Summary
When summer vacation feels a little too quiet, Robyn decides she's going to solve the problem by finding actual bears and what follows is a mix of humor and mild adventure that keeps young readers turning pages. Kids who love animals and appreciate a character with big determination will find a lot to enjoy here, especially since Robyn's quest leads her through some funny and slightly suspenseful moments that strike just the right balance for the K-3 crowd. The story has a gentle educational element woven in without feeling preachy, and parents will appreciate that the scares are more exciting than truly scary. If your young reader enjoyed "Biscuit" or other early animal adventures, this offers a similar comfort level with just enough of a thrill to make it memorable. The book's short length and chapter structure also make it a great choice for newly independent readers who want something satisfying but not overwhelming.
