Meet Blizzard - a friendly polar bear with a big story to tell!
In Adaptations: A Polar Bear's Story, young readers join Blizzard as he shares the amazing features that help him survive in one of the coldest places on Earth. From his thick, hollow fur and cozy layer of blubber to his giant paws, sharp claws, super-sensitive nose, and built-in sunglasses eyes, kids will discover exactly how polar bears are built for their icy home, and have fun doing it.
Packed with a fun fact on every page, a friendly, first-person narrator, and bright photorealistic illustrations, this book makes science approachable and exciting for young explorers. It doesn't stop at the story, either: a Science Concepts glossary reinforces key vocabulary like adaptation, camouflage, and insulation, and a hands-on Try It Yourself activity lets kids feel what blubber does for themselves.
Part of the Simple Science series by veteran educator and children's author Karen Barber Blevins, this book is perfect for curious kids, parents looking for a read-aloud with real educational value, and classrooms exploring animal adaptations.
Perfect for ages 4-9.
