I thought this was a great look way to look at the topic of climate change and the bears that are affected heavily by it. It can be sad, but it is an important topic to discuss. This book was a great way to introduce young readers to the topic in a way that is easy to understand and depicts why we need to find solutions to reduce the effects of climate change.

This beautifully photographed book is informative, and offers a gentle warning about climate change. Rather than preach at the reader, the author shows how climate change is affecting the polar bears, and helps readers gain empathy for their plight. At the end of the book there is more information about the arctic circle and climate change. there is helpful advice on how to help develop a love of nature in young children and when/how to broach the statistical concerns with older children.

I highly recommend this book for schools and libraries.

Great way to introduce climate change concepts in young ones! Love the conversation starters at the back of the book. And I definitely relate to the exhausted mother! 3.5

I know I said before that I'm getting a bit sick of the one note of kids' books that talk about climate change in the same way every time. However, this book was different because it was much more specific, and therefore more interesting and unique. Additionally, the author provided readers with the simple, straight facts, and did it in a perfect way for young readers, without being overly depressing or serious. Sometimes less is more, and the author of this book definitely knew and applied that principle, which I applaud. Lastly, the actual, live images that were used worked perfectly for this book, and each picture matched the writing on every page. Bravo!

Very informative nonfiction book about polar bears. I learned lots of facts about polar bears. I thought the pictures were well done. This would be a great tool when learning about climate change.

This book is a sad depiction of the effect global warming has on polar bears. Maybe great for older kids, but for my two year old it was a hard pass.
