Let’s get ready to Grrrr-umble! Who will win the ultimate title of fattest brown bear in this battle of animal versus nature?

Join Goldie Fox and Moose McMahon as they report live on the scene in Big Fat Bear Battle. It’s Fat Bear Week again in Katmai National Park, Alaska, and the whole forest is PLUMPed and ready to see which gorged grizzly is burly enough to take home the coveted Fat Bear Week prize.

This energetic picture book pits bears versus bears in the ultimate story of survival—kids and adults alike will be giggling at its punny humor, while also providing the STEM elements that educators and librarians.
