Book Description

August 10, 2010 5 and upK and upCat in the Hat's Learning Library
What purrrfect timing! Fall 2010 marks the launch of the new PBS Kids television show The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!—an animated preschool science program based on the Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library book series—and to celebrate, we’re coating the cover of our new Learning Library book Ice Is Nice! with a shimmery finish! In this latest installment of the bestselling series, the Cat in the Hat takes Sally and Dick to visit the North and South Poles, where they mingle with native animals—reindeer, musk oxen, polar bears, caribou, and all sorts of penguins. They discover how the animals stay warm in the freezing cold, learn why it’s colder at the South Pole than at the North Pole, find out that one pole is located on land and the other isn’t, and learn that scientists are studying climate change to keep both poles icy cold.

This is the perfect book to curl up with on a cold winter’s day—made even more perfect with a glistening cover!

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes learning science a fun experience for young children!, March 15, 2011
This review is from: Ice Is Nice!: All About the North and South Poles (Cat in the Hat's Learning Library) (Hardcover)
I came across The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library series of books during my daughter's school's book fair recently and was captivated by the content and the vivid visuals. I thought I'd purchase two books in the series to see if my daughter would be interested and engaged. I had been looking for suitable science-themed books for her age level and these seemed to fit the bill.

To my delight, she loved the books. The presentation is kid-friendly, with content spread out over the pages, lots of illustrations, and small chunks of information which do not overwhelm. The characters from the PBS series populate the pages and go on these amazing adventures, and young readers get the feeling that they're going along on the ride! In "Ice is Nice", the book explains information about the North and South Poles. In addition, there is a glossary and index and also suggestions for further reading. This is an excellent book to motivate young children's interest in science!

2.0 out of 5 stars Obvious errors make this a poor choice for teaching kids, May 14, 2011
By 
This review is from: Ice Is Nice!: All About the North and South Poles (Cat in the Hat's Learning Library) (Hardcover)
This volume contains errors that make it a poor choice for teaching children. The book states that there are eight continents. There are seven. It says that a polar bear's hide is made up of hairs. Hide is skin, not fur. Given the number of accurate science books for kids, there's no reason to buy one like this that is compromised by such shoddy fact-checking and editing.
