Can a human boy help save a baby polar bear
Paddling through the Arctic Ocean in their kayaks, Tigluk and his aka--his grandmother--spot a polar bear cub on a faraway ice floe. But he is all alone and has lost his mother....
For decades, naturalist writer Jean Craighead George and acclaimed artist Wendell Minor have shared a deep appreciation for the natural world with young people. In The Last Polar Bear, they deftly weave an environmental message into a contemporary tale about survival and coexistence between humans and animals on our warming planet. The vivid, realistic paintings capture the beauty of the people, animals, and landscape of the Arctic world.
Tigluk and his grandmother paddle out into the Arctic Ocean where they find a young polar bear whose mother has died because of the changes brought about by the warming climate, and they bring the cub back to their town so they can teach it how to survive in a changing world.
Ages 4-7.
