How do animals live in the cold weather?  Why are some animals the way they are? Why do some animals do certine things?  In this book with little pop-ups and open the flaps the questions are answered.  With the temperature being about -60 degrees in the coldest places in the world there are animals that live there.  At the poles of the world you dont have day and night, you have light for 6 months and dark for 6 months.  The animals that live in the places are built to live in this weather.  Some animals have super think fur and some have layers of fat, or they have both.  There are some animals that change their color depending on what seson it is to help them escape from their enemies.  The animals have things that help them get around in the cold and ice.

I would recomend teachers to have this book in their class room for kids to read durring reading time, or even parents to read to their kids, the parents can read and the kids can fip and pull the tabs and they can learn together.

I dont thing that anything is wrong with this book.

I enjoyed this book, I even learned a few new things reading it.  And with the pulling and flipping tabs and things it even made learning fun!
