Funny poems paired with intriguing facts introduce young readers to the fascinating creatures of Earth's polar regions. The remote North and South Poles, described as our "Earth refrigerator," are home to a variety of unusual, rarely-seen animals like caribou, penguins, and narwhals. Young readers will enjoy learning about these polar inhabitants and their adaptations to cold, windy, frozen environments. Whimsical, colorful art complements humorous poems that highlight over a dozen polar animals and their unique characteristics. The book also addresses climate change, inspiring readers to take action in caring for our planet. It explores key scientific concepts such as animal adaptation, biomes, global warming, and interdependence through rhymed, rhythmic poetry filled with figurative language and humor. Douglas Florian, known for blending poetry, art, and science, delivers wit and imagination alongside aesthetic sensibility. The collection includes poems on various polar species and ends with a poignant reminder of our environmental responsibilities.
