Our Young Reviewers Say:
I learned a lot about how polar bears live; I didn’t know that polar bears’ hair is transparent, not white. I really liked it when they told how polar bears never lift their tails except to poop.
–Nofi, 9 years old, Toronto, Canada.
It has good information with a lot of action. I like the parts about eating. How to eat a seal was funny and I didn’t know that walrus meat was tough.
–Ari, 7 years old, Brooklyn, NY.
