Polar Bears and Penguins: A Compare and Contrast Book

32 pp. | Sylvan Dell | March, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62855-209-6 $17.95 | Paper ISBN 978-1-62855-218-8 $9.95 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-62855-236-2
(4) K-3 Simple sentences share basic facts about polar bears, penguins, and their habitats. The pages feel flimsy, but many of the color photographs are arresting. Potentially puzzling, the sentence "Down in the Antarctic, December occurs during summer and in sunshine" is illustrated with a photo featuring snow-capped mountains. Back matter includes "Polar Bear True or False" and a penguin matching activity.
