One Polar Bear is a delightful rhyming book filled with lovable animals from the Canadian Arctic. Polar Bear is home sick and alone. His many animal friends drop by to cheer him up. This counting story celebrates individuals with a variety of abilities and disabilities, and the text helps teach the numbers one to ten. Canada is a country made up of many peoples and cultures. This book reflects this diversity by featuring the word "welcome" in different languages amongst its pages. One Polar Bear is a wonderful bedtime story and a beautiful way to educate and celebrate the differences in our world.
If
you can be anything, be inclusive.
my review...
As sweet as can
be. The pages all have consecutive numbers in the verse, teaching children
their primary numbers by a singsong prose. The illustrations are as cute as the
prose.
A nice book to
read to a very young child but also a nice beginning reader for a child.
