The Book
This sweet book is lovely. Penguins of Antartica send off an invitation to the polar bears of the Arctic to join them at the South Pole for a celebration. The penguins want the polar bears to be their special guests as they celebrate the longest day of the year together.
It's a long journey for the polar bears to make and what if they can't make it in time? What in the world will they bring to such a joyous event and what will they find when they eventually arrive? These are all great questions to ponder and answer.
This story highlights friendship and how much the polar bears will have to endure to attend that party. The author includes fun facts about penguins and polar bears: the jaw-dropping distance that the polar bears have to travel to arrive at their destination, the summer solstice, and the frivolity and joy that occurs when the two groups of friends finally meet face-to-face.
The illustrations are wonderful and happily the reader is invited to come along and attend the party too. All-in-all it is an educational fun story that I'm sure kids will love! I highly recommend "Dear Polar Bears"!
