5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Book!, March 3, 2000
By 
Lynnette W. (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swim Polar Bear, Swim! (Paperback)
I am a second grade teacher. This book doesn't stay on my classroom library shelf! The kids love it! I bought this book because the pictures were wonderful, but after reading it I also fell in love with the story. This is perfect for a read aloud, bedtime story and any other occasion! I can't recommend it enough!

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning Something New, January 20, 2003
By 
"longf_2000" (Moline, Il United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swim Polar Bear, Swim! (Paperback)
I love to use this book with my kindergarten students because it tells them how scary it can be to try something new. The little polar bear can't learn how to swim right away, an experience they might already have had themselves. When he tries, and tries, and finally is swimming on his own - my audience cheers for him! They're all clapping by the end of the story!

The pictures are very engaging and warm. Lots of love and support is given by the mother polar bear as we see the little bear struggle with his insecurities.
The triumph at the end is well-written.

I use it as a take home book in a story bag with a stuffed polar bear, artist pad, and markers. The children share the story at home and then write their own story to share the next day at school. They illustrate the story and sign their name to their work. It's a great story extension.
