Imagine living in such a cold, desolate but beautiful place as the
Arctic.
Polar Bear shivers and quivers from the cold wind that blows and
snowflakes that melt as they touch his warm nose....
What strange creatures Polar Bear sees around him - whales that dive
deep into the ocean, penguins that waddle and slip and slide on the ice
but can swim like a graceful ballerina under water, brightly coloured
puffins who can fly and swim under water, the narwhal with its long
pointed tusk.........
There is a lot to learn for a polar bear cub and he needs to listen to
mother and do what she says so that he stays happy and safe for the rest
of his days.
Polar Bear, Polar Bear is a picture book for young children written in
rhyme to encourage their imagination. It is an early introduction to
this amazing animal and his environment under threat through climate
change.

they dive, waddle like a penguin or swoop like an Arctic tern...
