Bears Are Strange Creatures by Marlene Papp

:
Bears Are Strange Creatures

Bears live anywhere.
They sleep, and play and
hunt for food.
They sneak like cats but break a
a stick or two. They have eyes that glow
with odd colors
and a bit of shine.
Some bears have attitudes that
make animals like us
smile, laugh or wonder.
They come in pretty colors like
black, brown, white, and cinnamon.

Sometimes they sound mean, but
mostly mind their own business
Bears are strange creatures in special ways
that make me wonder
what they are really like.
