Waiting for Ice

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alan Marks. Based on the true story of an orphaned polar bear, Markle's text explores the challenges a young female faces competing for food while waiting for the pack ice to arrive that will enable her to leave Wrangel Island for the winter. Marks's art, washed with blues and purples, conveys much about the harsh world of these animals. A note about global warming is appended. Reading list.
