Dear Polar Bears

Key Selling Points

Playful and informative, illustrating the diversity of the arctic and the differences between the North and South Poles, while hinting at the effects of climate change. Includes facts about penguin and polar bear species, the distances between the Earth’s poles and Antarctica's longest day of the year (the summer solstice). Simple text, written in epistolary style, is accompanied by humorous imagery to prompt discussion and further learning about travel, environmentalism and endangered species. This is author Gabrielle Prendergast's second book to blend scientific fact with playful imagery, following If Pluto Was a Pea. Illustrator Marcus Cutler infuses his artwork with delightful details and humor.
