A mother Polar Bear cares for her two young cubs, but as spring turns to summer and the ice melts, she finds it increasingly difficult to hunt.
AJ loved Polar Bear so much. There's a good amount of text, and it was so engaging she read the whole book, first to herself and then to me. Rohmann's illustrations are very realistic. Don't miss the labeled drawing of a polar bear, telling about all their adaptations and the few "cool" facts. Fleming has included a thorough author's note describing the plight of these giant bears brought on by human-caused climate change.
