Polar Bears

Children's Literature

How do polar bears keep warm? Can they swim? What do they eat? How do they survive? These questions are all answered in this book from the "In the Wild" series. The series teaches children how animals survive, where they live, and how their parents treat them while they are living in their natural habitat. The amazing photographs in this book capture a bear as a young cub, eating, jumping across ice blocks, and even swimming underwater. Some vocabulary words that are taught in this book include arctic, ice floe, and pack ice. The book contains an index, glossary, a list of further websites for children, other books about polar bears, and a table of contents to help young readers learn to use these valuable resources. This book will be very useful as a home or library reference book. Part of the "In the Wild" series. 2003, Raintree Steck-Vaughn Publishers,
