Have
you ever wondered how polar bears stay warm in the middle
of all that snow and ice? Are they mean mothers? What
do they eat? Is global warming really a problem for
polar bears? Ice Bear,
In the Steps of the Polar Bear is filled with answers
and beautiful paintings. You will love this awesome
book about the largest hunter on the land!
Each
page has information in large print and more interesting
facts in small print, too. At the back, you will find
an index to help you learn more about just what you
want to know about polar bears. All the pages are numbered
to make them easy to find.
In
the Kids' Wings unit you can even do a readers' theater
play about polar bears with your friends! Here's how
it starts:
