📚 Bears

From sun bear to polar bear: the species, their natural history, and a human literature of encounters all its own.

Below are the 3 works carrying the subject bears in the Open Library catalogue with the most editions in print. Author and first year are as the record states them; a missing year means the record does not carry one, not that the book is undated. Novels set in the subject are left out, because a list of historical fiction is not a list of history. Where one author dominates the reprint counts, no more than two of their titles appear.

Cover	Title	Author	First published	Editions
	Goldilocks and the three bears	Bernadette Watts	1985	4
	Polar bears	Gail Gibbons	2001	4
	Who Would Win? Polar Bear vs Grizzly Bear	Jerry Pallotta	2010	1
