Where Do Polar Bears Live? by Sarah L. Thomson is a “Let’s-Read-And-Find-Out Science” stage 2 book that combines storytelling and an environmental lesson for ages 5-9.
A professor bear leads the reader through the story of a mother polar bear and her cub, and what their survival depends on and how that is threatened today. Young readers will be introduced to scientific elements of species, habitat and survival, with beautiful illustrations by Jason Chin .
At the conclusion of the story, readers will not be left empty-handed with only worry for the polar bears, but instead are given some practical ideas to get involved. “Find out more about why the world is getting warmer?” and “What can you do?” can begin some good discussions with budding environmentalists at en early age.
