The Bear report by thyra heder

This book starts out with a shoddily done report on bears.  The main character writes:
"They are big."
"They eat things." and
"They are mean."

She is in for a surprise when a polar bear shows up in her room and declares that not all polar bears are mean.  He then takes  her out a tour of his habitat.  The pictures are stunning.  This would be a great book to show students what NOT to do for a report and what TO DO for a report.  The story is touching and informational.
