      This book is billed as a children's book, but I think it is a book for anyone who is concerned about the environment, endangered species, and wants to know about filming in some rather extreme situations. This book is about the creating of an IMAX film about The Great Bear Rainforest. It took three years to make this film. In the book we learn about the ecological area, the animals that live there, the changes in the habitat over the years and how the indigenous people live and protect the area. The tidbits about the various personnel involved in the film from the camera people, the sound people up to the indigenous guides, we learn about the various jobs and how people achieved what they did. The climate causes problems, situations to overcome and some funny quotes and situations. The one animal that seems to galvanize everybody is the spirit bear. This is not an albino bear, but a recessive trait that causes the fur to be white. It actually helps the bear to hunt better. From flies and maggots all the way to grizzlies and humpback whales, every animal plays a part. This area went from being designated as a TSA (timber supply area) by the Canadian Government 25 years ago to a protected habitat today, and this book shares some of that story. I really want to see this IMAX movie someday. This book could be used in so many ways, such as learning about employment in the film industry, protecting the environment, learning about indigenous people and how they protect the environment as well as the Great Bear Rainforest Habitat. What a great introduction to so many areas of study. This would make a great addition to any school or public library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book upon request. The rating, ideas and opinions shared are my own.
