More about this title

„THE SECRET LIFE OF ANIMALS” is the new realistic children's book series for readers aged 8 and up, divided into several subseries sorted by the Earth's habitats. Each series features exciting fiction about animals and their environment, with each of the four volumes in each sub-series focusing on a different animal in a certain environment (Ocean, Forest, Savannah). Each book can be read independently.
What happens in FOREST, Vol. 2:
After hibernation, young Scout is abandoned by her mother, although she is actually still too small and delicate. She attaches herself to an ancient, gigantic grizzly, which does not please him at all, and learns from him what to eat, which plants have healing powers, how to steal from squirrels and drive away wolves, mark a territory, and fight. Eventually, the grizzly tolerates the little one and even defends her against danger.
Little Scout grows up to become quite a brawler who doesn't put up with anything (anymore). When the little bear wakes up after winter hibernation, the big grizzly is gone. She doesn't see him again, but sometimes she still finds a giant paw print, and Scout senses that it is him - the last of the grizzly giants.
• Fictionalized adventure stories from animals' point of view
• ‘Popular Entertaining Storytelling’ meets Animal Documentaries, the successful non-fiction trend translated into narrative – for the first time!
• Sub-series in different habitats: Forest, Ocean, Savannah, Jungle
• Each habitat is realized by a renowned duo of author and illustrator: wonderfully beautiful narrative voices meet touching black-and-white illustrations
