Face to Face with Polar Bears (Face to Face with Animals) [Hardcover]

Norbert Rosing (Author), Elizabeth Carney (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 7 and up | Grade Level: 2 and up | Series: Face to Face with Animals

The ferocious, snarling beast closing in on you fast has a toothache. In the white wastelands of the Arctic, there is nowhere to hide. Where is that helicopter?

Despite surviving this nightmare, award-winning photographer Norbert Rosing loves the charming, playful side of the polar bear. Yes, they slashed his tires, but mankind is now ruining their climate and environment. Surely the bears' anger is understandable. Rosing's book connects children with the consequences of global warming, and gives practical advice on how to help save our white-furred friends.

I bought this book for a speech I was doing in college and it came in very handy. It gave information about Global warming and some things we can do to help stop it. It is a good book and I think children will find it interesting. It talks about the polar bear's life style, what they eat, how long they live, etc. Overall it is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it.
