"Even though this was a fiction book, I have to say I learned a lot about Bears in real life. They had a picture on one chapter of a Grizzly Bear, Black Bear, and a Polar bear, and it was amazing to see the difference in their heads. It was very neat. I am writing a book of my own at the moment, and Erin Hunter gave me ideas of writing syles."
