“The scents of huckleberries, pine, and cedar imprint on the cubs. While their eyes come to know the mountains, their noses explore miles beyond what they can see.â€

This book would be useful for the older grades. This book does a great job with its illustrations that allow children to stay focused and attentive throughout. This book also does a great job at vocabulary. Throughout the book there are blurbs explaining the word, so it would allow for a great vocabulary lesson.
