Where Do Polar Bears Live?


By: Sarah L. Thomson
Illustrated by: Jason Chin

Another note about Earth Day coming up - What about the Polar Bears! We couldn't possibly leave them out! "Where do Polar Bears Live?" is a non-fiction piece about the life that polar bears lead and how they have learned to survive in the Arctic. What is so appealing about this factual book are the great illustrations that bring the polar bear close to students - even into a doctor's office! The book also discusses Global Warming and how the habitat that polar bears survive in is slowly melting away - nothing like pulling at the heart strings with some cuddly polar bears! I think that this would be a great book for a unit on the Arctic or cold climate animals - definitely a good pick with great information that is delivered in style for young readers.

Ages: 5-9
