LEARNING ABOUT NUTRITION AND WELLNESS
A young black bear gets in shape in Wyoming's Grand Tetons
Stanley
the bear loves living in the Grand Teton National Park-especially when
campers leave something delicious behind. In fact, munching on cookies
and chips is just about Stanley's favorite thing to do.
Then one
day Stanley's sweet tooth leads him far from home. Living close to
humans makes it easier than ever for Stanley to gorge himself on candy,
not to mention soda pop and buttery popcorn. "This is the life!" he
says.
But soon Stanley learns his new life is ridden with dangers
he never imagined back in the forest. How will Stanley find his way
home?
In this engaging story, Author Alyssa Chase Rebein invites
young readers to take part in the unusual journey of a not-so-ordinary
black bear. We learn about the unique landscape of the Grand Tetons,
the life of a wild animal on the move-and a gentle lesson about the
importance of making healthy choices.
Rich watercolors by Andra
Chase capture Stanley's adventurous character and provide an artist's
intimate view of the Yellowstone ecosystem.
A SURPRISE and added
bonus is the "Enrichment Information" which includes lots of facts about
the flora and fauna of the Grand Tetons. There are colorful details
about the Grand Teton National Park, Jenny Lake, the Snake River, the
"Drive-In," Stanley's Journey, Honey and Huckleberries, From Black to
Blond Bears, and Born to be Wild! This is fascinating detail that did
not make it into the story itself, but is very rich in interesting
description.
A second big plus is the "Letter to Parents and
Educators" which includes many relevant questions and comments to
facilitate conversation with young readers about the message of the
story...which is the importance of making healthy choices about food and
exercise.
This story comes down very hard on junk food in a compelling way!
So even though on the surface, this is just an engaging story for children, it is also truly helpful in a real way.
