Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Journey through the Arctic with Polar Star and her cubs.
While her new cubs Snowball and Snowflake are too young to venture far from their den, Polar Star shows them the delights of their ice and snow wonderland home. But when the cubs are old enough to leave the safety of the den, they must learn how to survive in their beautiful yet hostile world and follow Polar Star across the treacherous sea ice in search of food.
Author Sally Grindley's exciting story presents a factually accurate portrayal of the joyful but often dangerous life of the largest meat-eating mammals on earth. John Butler's wondrous landscape paintings recreate in full color the grandeur of the Arctic world. A Polar Bear Facts page at the back of the book invites readers to learn more about these magnificent animals.
Follows a mother polar bear and her two cubs from their birth to a dangerous encounter with a hungry male bear, describing how the mother protects her offspring until they can fend for themselves.
