Polar Bear Math: Learning about Fractions from Klondike and Snow

32 pp. | Holt | August, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-7301-9 $16.95
(4) K-3 Abandoned polar bear cubs Klondike and Snow must be hand-fed. The authors introduce readers to fractions as they describe how to make polar bear milk, how much food the newborns consume, etc. At times the math is confusingly presented--"Two parts, or 2/3, were half-and-half [milk and cream]"--but the engaging main text and color photos of the adorable cubs are winning.
