Rendition Supposing Books Moon Bear

No book should be judged for the audience it's aimed at.
Whether it's an adorable picture book with stunning illustrations, or a thick novel being a feat of classic literature - I love books regardless of whom they're written for. Maybe it's childish for me to enjoy simplistic picture books, or children's novels - but every so often I come across a gem of a novel, one that can not only entertain kids but also compel adults. Moon Bear is one of these gems.


Moon Bear is the definition of a well-written, emotive children's novel. It can be enjoyed and read by anyone - whether you're a kid, teen or adult. I've always maintained you cannot judge a book by its cover - nor its intended audience. Moon Bear is convincing and emotional - packed to the brim with hope, a slight tinge of comedy, but never shying away from the brutality of bear bile farming. Moon Bear evokes emotion from the reader - happiness, sadness, anger. Anger for the Doctor, whom keeps the bears in terrible conditions all in the hope of making a quick dollar; hope for little cub Sook-dii, and Mountain Boy Tam; and sadness for the sick young girl whom Tam befriends.

There's enough here for everyone. The writing is easy enough for children to read, though it flows and contains enough depth to capture the attention of older audiences. There's some very interesting information about - not just moon bears - but Laos in general.

Moon Bear is a unique children's novel. I found it entertaining, emotive and unique - if you see it in your library, definitely consider giving it a read.

Evaluation Based On Books Moon Bear

An incredibly sad yet touching book that tugged and tugged at my heartstrings, leaving me at the end of the book caring an extraordinary amount about Tam and his bear.

I read this over the course of a quarter with my high school students. It tied into our learning about ecology and current species extinctions. I found that even though it's tagged as a book for younger audiences, it translated seamlessly to my older students. I enjoyed it, too.

4 stars: quality2 stars: my enjoyment It made me very sad, but it didn't make me cry.This was my first of this genre:Middle grade realistic fictionI probably won't carry on with this genre because I didn't enjoy this book

This book was a bit of a slow starter for me; I felt that the story took a while to get going but once it did I was hooked. I got really invested in the fate of Tam and his Moon Bear. The story was very moving and the ending was wonderful.The subject matter might be quite difficult for younger children. I would say this is very much a book for upper ks2. There is some reference to drugs and gangs, so that might need to be managed in a classroom setting, but could also be an interesting topic of

This book can make you sad just by reading.

When twelve-year-old Tam's father is killed, he is sent to work on a "bear farm" in the city where bears held captive in cages are subjected to the barbaric practice of "milking" their bladders of bile, which is sold for medicinal purposes.. Tam develops a close bond with a newly arrived bear cub and is determined to save it from this horrific fate. A compelling, heart-rending story of cruelty and compassion.
