Bear Poems

Grizzly Bear

(tune of "Three Blind Mice")

Grizzly Bear! Grizzly Bea

What big teeth! What big teeth!

I see you cubs and your cubs see me.

Please don't growl, you're scaring me!

I wish you'd go and climb a tree.

Grizzly Bear.

Polar Bear

(to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean")

The polar bear lives in Alaska,

He never gets cold in a storm,

He swims in cold icy water,

His heavy coat keeps him warm.

Warm, warm, warm, warm,

His heavy coat keeps him warm

Warm, warm, warm, warm,

His heavy coat keeps him warm.

I Am a Polar Bear


I am a polar bear,

I live North of everywhere!

I live at the top of the world!


The furry white coat

I wear in the snow,

Keeps me warm when it's twenty below!


I am a polar bear,

I live North of everywhere!

I live at the top of the world!


Fishing in the ice,

And swimming in the sea,

Makes living at the North Pole perfect for me!


I am a polar bear,

I live North of everywhere!

I live at the top of the world!

North American Bears


I am a grizzly bear.

breathe the mountain air.

I eat tons of food - you can call me a chub.

For I winter in a den and feed my bear cubs.


I am a black bear.

I may breathe your air.

I am kind of small, but can climb a tree fine.

The famous, Smokey the Bear, is one of my kind.


I am a polar bear.

I breathe the Arctic air.

Afloat on an iceberg, looking for a meal,

I have a keen sense of smell - oh, there's a seal!


I am a brown bear.

I breathe Alaskan air.

I live near the sea and eat plants, roots, and grass.

But I also eat salmon, 'cause that's the best!
~Sandy Tuttle

Bear, bear, bear, bear

How many kinds of bears are there?

Polar bear and grizzly bear,

Big brown bear with lots of hair.

Spectacled bear, black bear, too,

Sloth bear, sun bear, quite a few!

Bear, bear, bear, bear,

So many bears to compare.
