Part of the wonder of living in the woods surrounded by nature and wildlife is watching all its tales unfold. PeTunia is one of those stories. Follow a young bear named PeTunia through a day of wandering in the woods, particularly at a special stop in Boone Hollow. She can be a naughty bear, stealing seeds from the birds and pulling down feeders, but mostly PeTunia is just a gentle creature who will, in the end, steal your heart. There are many bear facts for young readers included, accompanied by several pictures of PeTunia's friends. In keeping with her passion to educate others about cohabitating peacefully with wildlife, Trish plants seeds of compassion in the hearts of the young and old alike.

Summary: Teacher
Comment: As a teacher, this book is delightful. We never outgrow good picture books. These photographs are marvelous and the story tells us how funny black bears can be. The "bear facts" at the end make it an educational book for all ages to enjoy. One to be read again and again.

Summary: A terrific book for all ages
Comment: Petunia: The True Story of a Naughty Pigeon-Toed Boone Hollow Bear
What a terrific book for all adults and youngsters, whether they read it themselves or have it read to them.
PeTunia takes us along on her adventures and mishaps as she heads for Boone Hollow. She narrates or thinks aloud in a most endearing, humorous way. She is thoroughly entertaining and bound to put a big smile on the reader's face. And wait until you see the spectacular photographs of her on every page! I doubt you'll find a comparable book. There are educational "bear facts" at the end of the story, which is a very nice plus. I'd highly recommend this book, but beware, you will fall in love!

Summary: Want to smile? Here's the book for you.
Comment: PeTunia is an enchanting book. The photographer/author uses her skills well. It's almost like PeTunia knew this book would be made as her body language and facial expressions couldn't fit the text better. This book will have the reader, child or adult, smiling from start to finish while they share an afternoon in Boone Hollow with PeTunia, a young bear doing what comes naturally. Trish Kirk shares with us in such a delightful way just what a wild and free young bear does. I'd recommend this book for any age group. It's perfect for sharing with a youngster or for a teacher to share with a class. The bear facts at the end of the book are also accompanied perfectly by photos of bears in the wild.
I was in the room as my adult daughter read this book and there was audible giggling as she went from page to page and saw these real, yet often comical, poses and read the captions. A book for "kids" of all ages it seems!
