The Salmon bear, explorers the delicate balance that excists between the Grizzley ,Black and the spirit bears of the great bear rainforestand their natural enviroment on the central coast of British Columbia. Key to this relationship are the real salmon bears , born in the rivers each spring, who go out to sea juvenile and the returns as adults to spawn and die.
Check out this website looking more into the Salmon Bears book.
I thought that the book "THE SALMON BEAR" was an interesting book one of my favourite part was about the spirit bears spirit bears are bears that look like polar bears due to their wight fur they're only 400 left. Also, did you know that baby brown bears (cubs) when the play they're akshwaly learning but they are warned because they're only cubs they have to stay close to their mothers because preditors like a coager could get them so these are the things that really where facinating to me. jr grade six o:)
ReplyDeleteI just finished my book and I totally agree with Jr. This book was so interesting and for some reason I am really loving all the silverbirch books this year. I also find that these Salmon Bears are really good parents and the cubs are so cute and playfull.

We just finished the book "Salmon Bears" and we thought it was a very good book, It was interesting because it talked about their habitat and how they live. The books these years for silver birch are really good and especially "Salmon Bears". One part we both enjoyed a lot was chapter 1 "A Magical Place" We thought it was amazing because it was very interesting because it's talking about their location of where they live and it tells us what the bears do during the day and night. As well it tells us about their predators and all types of bears in the rainforest. I thought it was the best in silver birch.

I am reading the book called ''The salmon bear '' so far I really like it . I was reading through the book when I came across a picture of a bear eating a pregnant fish but when the bear was eating the fish; the eggs were coming out it was nasty, but cool at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThis book reminds me of the time I went camping with my dad and we were about to eat diner when a big bear arrived at are camp site and started eating our food and walked away .
I was wondering what made you want to write this book ? is it because you love or like bears ?
I am the kind of girl that likes to read fiction books I don't really like nonfiction books but this one was really ,really good .So keep up the good writing.
Abigail I thought that your comment was very descriptive. I thought it was descriptive because when you said about the pregnant fish and when the bear was eating it the eggs came out I thought that was cool to but at the same time disgusting I liked how you asked the questions about the authors book that was a very good idea maybe I will do that to for the next book I read. :D jr
ReplyDeleteI really liked the book "Salmon Bears" becauseit was extremely intresting and I loved the photos.One photo that I liked is the one that showed the salmon ,this was a special salmon that were red. One of the intresting facts is that the bears are heavier when they start hibernating then when they wake up. This is because they eat a lot before they fall asleep.Also, before I thought the bears eat in there hibernation. To the author, where did you learn all those facts, and know it's true.

I really liked the book salmon bears because like Simon said I also thought that bears eat in their hibernation but they don't and I liked how you laid out the pictures and facts.I was also wondering how you got all the cool facts from like that bears eat the eggs from squeezing their body.Also how did you think of such a good name for the book?

This book is really "COOL"from my opinion, because the whole book was about facts and i really like facts because not only is it intersting it is also letting me learn in a fun way not only about bears but other sea creatures too! I thihnk this book was very clever in many way!
ReplyDeleteCECILIA C: (: :D :}
so far i like the book because it shows alot of facts of bears. My favourite bear is Black Bear because it looks cool and is ferocious!
ReplyDeleteAlexandra:)
on the siverbirch blog there is a website and it takes you there and you can see the books there and you can look inside the book it is cool you should go on the website.
ReplyDeleteAlessandro :P
i liked the book salmon bears ans i learned a lot about how many things in the forest depend on salmon.my question for the author would be why did you want to write a book about salmon bears and other animal from the great bear rain forest?-KYANA:P
ReplyDeleteI just started reading the book "THE SALMON BEARS" I Really am enjoying it not because I like bears, it is because it is very interesting There were a few boring parts but so far it is amazing
ReplyDeleteSolah
I just finnished SALMON BEARS this morning. I coud not belive that I finnished it today. I liked this book because it can help me learn more about bears and the most weird part is that bear cubs are born in the winter, and usaully baby animals are born in the spring
ReplyDeleteSOLAH
I L.O.V.E.D the book Salmon Bears because of the beautiful pictures and it's descriptiveness.For example, when it said that 20000 calories is equivalente to 40 big macs.It said that because a bear needs 20000 calories while hibernating in the winter.This made sence to me.
ReplyDeleteNolan$$$$
I like salmons bears because the pictures were very nice, clear and real.Also I liked the interesting facts and the there were captions for all the pictures.Also all the facts were interesting Example: 14 salmon all together is 20,000 calories the same as 40 Bic Macs.

I really enjoyed reading this book because I thought it was interesting because it talked about what bears do during the season like in winter they hibernate and in the spring since every thing is growing they depend on plants that didn't die druing the winter and there cubs during winter drink they mothers milk to keep them alive because its to cold to go outside and eat.
ReplyDeleteI also thought it was a little boring because I am not really into nature books and I found it very boring like in the middle, but I would recomend it to people that like nature books and bears.
P.S I liked the pictures!
Abi:) :D
OH MY GOSH this is the best book ever i love this book but its not a bad but what inspired you to write this story i just adore your work hehehehehe.
ReplyDeleteWhat I liked about this book is becuase it tells me about how the mama bear feeds her cubs.
well im not trying to be rude is when i started reading more it got kinda boring becuase it really isnt the kind of book i would read i was just trying to read something new for me i asked my friends what they think and they all had different perspective then i did some said they loved some said it was okay but I think it was an okay book so great book keep writing
Yasmine (-_-) rock on
ps: I want to read the wolf one it might be good so hurry and sell it at indigo or chapters ehehehehebhehehe
Salmon Bears was a pretty interesting book to read. I thought it was interesting because of the cool facts it had. Like how bears "mark" their territory by peeing and rubbing its scent on trees, which was gross but cool in a way. ;)
ReplyDeleteI also like the photographs because they were good quality and matched the text. There were also captions which were helpful.
I have some questions too. ;D
1. How did you find your information about the Great Bear Rainforest?
2. What facts did you find most interesting?
3. Why did you decide to write a book about the bears in the Great Bear Rainforest?
4. When did you start writing and what or who inspired you to write?
:)
I thought that this book was very informative about the bears and Ian McAllister and Nicholas Read did a really good job informing us about one of the only natural nature reserves. This book was so interesting, I want to read the book by the same authors called the Sea Wolves and the Spirit Bears. I hope the authors write more books like that. I also think that could do a really good job writing a fictional book that has real facts about the Sea Wolves, The Salmon Bears and the Spirit Bears. I thought that is also really cool that spirit bears are grizzly bears with a white pigment!!!!! Eric W
