The Last Bear Series

by ,
(134 reviews)

The Last Bear is a bestselling and award-winning illustrated celebration of the love between a child and an animal, a battle cry for our world and an irresistible adventure with a heart as big as a bear's. Perfect for all readers and animal lovers aged 8+.

Written by Hannah Gold and illustrated throughout by Levi Pinfold, these books will make a beautiful gift and will be cherished for years to come. As the story begins, it's very clear: there are no polar bears left on Bear Island. At least, that's what April's father tells her when his scientific research takes them to this remote Arctic outpost for six months. But one endless summer night, April meets one. He is starving, lonely and a long way from home. Determined to save him, April begins the most important journey of her life, which continues in book 2 when she finds a polar bear cub desperately in need of her help. 

This series is full of heart and emotion, so be prepared to shed a few tears. And for more books like this, do take a look at our Best Animal Stories for 9 and 10 Year Olds blog post.
