If You Were a Panda Bear

If you were a Panda bear,

Guess what you would wear?

A black-and-white suit
And eye patches—how cute!

You'd be very shy,
You'd eat lots of bamboo.

Then you'd take a long nap—
What a good thing to do!

Everyone knows black bears are black, but did you know they can climb trees? Which kind of bear has funny hair? Which one loves catching fish?

Wendell and Florence Minor celebrate the varied personalities of a parade of bears in this spirited collection of poems about our most playful—and lovable—friends.
