| PreSchool-Grade 2-In the spring, a polar bear emerges from hibernation and hunts for seal. As the weather warms, she has difficulty finding food for her two cubs and ends up scavenging in a village. Carrick presents the facts of the story in simple, realistic terms. Tension builds as the bears are captured and detained by wildlife officers but, unfortunately, a visual jump in the story line at the height of conflict may have readers checking to be sure they didn't miss a page. Small technical blip aside, the concept of this book is important and timely, and the author's deliberately spare, graceful text is excellent, as are Paul Carrick's acrylic paint renderings. In several breathtaking scenes, the illustrator outlines his subjects in luminous electric blue, capturing the waning northern sun reflecting the cool water and sky in the whiteness of landscape and animal. The answer to the title's intrinsic question (Why are the polar bears hungry?) is provided in the author's note at the end of the story where readers learn of the effects of global warming and other undue human interferences on the lives, and ultimately the future, of the polar-bear population. An excellent discussion starter.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This is a beautifully written book for young kids and beautifully illustrated. It bring the plight of the polar bears in a not so scary way and help me to open discuss of global warming with my 2 and 4 year olds. And also allows me to get my kids pro-active about simple things they can do to help polar bears and the earth. I think this would make a great gift for Pre-K and Kindergarden kids instead of another toy. This book also changed my children to be more aware of what they consume and the power they have to change the earth, unlike harden and jaded adults.
