Bookroo's summary
A young black bear awakens to find his forest home replaced by human houses. As he explores, he discovers easy food in backyards, but danger looms as humans and bears clash. What happens when he's found in a backyard?
From the publisher
Bears belong in the woods–they can find everything they need to survive there. But what happens when people start knocking down trees and building houses where the woods used to be? This young black bear is about to find out. He wakes one spring to find his territory completely changed. When the curious bear dares to come closer and closer to the houses, he discovers backyards and trashcans are an easy place to find food. But it’s dangerous for people and bears to live so close together. What will happen when the bear is discovered right in someone’s backyard?
