Spanning the four seasons, these poems, full of fanciful wordplay and playful images, capture the icy splendor of the Arctic's environment and its inhabitants.

In the second collaboration of the mother-and-son team that created Mothers Are Like That, two cubs are born to a polar bear. Mother bear teaches her cubs how to swim and hunt seals. But when the ice melts earlier than usual—the result of a changing climate—there is not enough food to keep her milk rich or to feed her cubs. Emboldened by hunger, the bears venture into human territory, where they are captured and caged in a special jail for bears until winter returns and the ice forms once more. Then the bears are released to hunt again on the shifting floes of the Arctic. This lyrical story of a mother and her babies is beautifully illustrated and based on fact. It includes a detailed afterword on the effects of global warming on polar bears.

Describes the physical characteristics, adaptations, and behavior of various animals that live in the arctic, including the polar bear, arctic fox, and arctic hare.

In a snowy forest, a small animal with pure white fur is munching on evergreen branches. It is a snowshoe hare. When it's time to move on, the hare hops over the forest floor with ease. Its huge feet act like snowshoes and keep it from sinking in as it moves along the snow-covered ground. Its white coat helps it blend in with its snowy habitat, keeping it safe from predators. Filled with information perfectly suited to the abilities and interests of its primary-grade audience, this colorful, fact-filled volume gives readers a chance not only to learn all about snowshoe hares and how their bodies are adapted to the extreme cold, but also to develop their powers of observation and critical thinking. Built-in activities, such as guessing how a snowshoe hare stays camouflaged when the snow melts in spring and finding objects that weigh the same amount as a baby hare, give readers a chance to gain, insights beyond the facts and figures.

For use in schools and libraries only. Describes the physical characteristics, adaptations, and behavior of various animals that live in the arctic, including the polar bear, arctic fox, and arctic hare.
