Fat Bear Week Finale 2022
Today marks the last day of voting for Fat Bear Week 2022! All the bears did great this year, getting as fat as possible for their winter hibernation, but there can only be one who is crowned the winner. This year it’s between Bear 747, who won in 2020, and Bear 901, who has never won Fat Bear Week.
Bears abound in Twenty-Two Bears by Swiss children’s writer and librarian Claire Huchet Bishop (1898-1993) with illustrations by German illustrator Kurt Wiese (1887-1974). Published by Viking Press in 1964, the book tells a counting story about twenty-two bears that your very own bear meets for a birthday feast. Of course, your bear returns home in time for bedtime snuggles. This book is part of our Historical Curriculum Collection.
Don’t forget to vote today in the finals and check back to see who is named fattest bear of 2022!
