Book Summary 

How Bear Lost His Tail is a charming, easy-to-read retelling of a Native American folk tale, crafted for early readers at Level 2 of the Usborne First Reading series. The story follows Bear, who once had a long, bushy tail admired by everyone—but Bear views it as more of a nuisance. Enter Fox, whose jealousy—or perhaps mischief—leads him to trick Bear into fishing through a hole in the ice using his tail. The ice freezes around Bear’s tail, and when he jumps—encouraged by Fox—the tail snaps off at the spot that is now the stub every bear carries. The tale is brought to life with original, watercolor-style illustrations and capped with playful comprehension puzzles, making the reading experience both delightful and educational.
