IceBear

(Back to NCCBA list)

Classroom reviews:

 * **Ms. Harper's class:** We enjoyed the cuddly relationship between the mom and baby. The pictures were cute. We didn't really like the pictures of the polar bear after he killed a seal: too bloody.
 * **Ms. Smith's class:** We were interested in the hunted seal and blood. The pictures were great. It was good to find out how we can help reduce the melting of the ice cap. We enjoyed learning the real facts. We liked the illustration of the mother and baby polar bears. It was interesting to learn how humans survived by watching the polar bears. This book was long enough for third grade. Some of us did not like the picture of the bear with the bloody nose. We thought the writing was a bit too small. Some of the pictures were not clear.
 * **Mrs. Pratt-Dixon's class:** We liked the namse of the polar bears and the picture of the cubs with their mother. We also enjoyed learning that polar bears can swim 100 miles without rest. We didn't like when the polar bear attacked the seal and ate him. Nor did we like seeing the picture of that.
