K-3Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series.
Illustrated by
Jason Chin.
Life in the Arctic is seen through the eyes of a cub, with attention to the care provided by its mother as it grows. The friendly narrative is strictly factual and provides solid information; the illustrations incorporate a polar bear scientist, and the wild bears verge on being anthropomorphized. An author's note about global warming is appended.
