Visit
the opposite ends of the Earth (the Arctic and Antarctic)
and meet two of the creatures who call these frigid areas
home. The polar bear and penguin could not be more different
but, in fact, there are a few similarities they share which
you’ll learn about as you read this “compare and
contrast” paperback.
Along
with brilliant color photos that highlight these polar animals
and their homes, the other strength of this book are the activity
pages the author includes at the end. There’s information
here about the seasons, other polar mammals, a map matching
penguins to different places where they live and a Polar Bear
True and False Test.
If you
are looking for a good general introduction to polar bears,
penguins and their habitats, this would be an excellent purchase.
While young children will probably like this book, older youngsters
might be disappointed because they would prefer greater depth
and more detail.
