Polar Bears
From the Series Pull Ahead Books — Animals
Living in the icy cold of the Arctic, polar bears keep warm because they have thick white fur all over their bodies—even on the bottoms of their feet! They hunt and eat other animals, mostly seals. Small cubs drink their mother’s milk to help them grow into full-grown polar bears.

The Horn Book Guide
“Pull Ahead Book Series. These small, square books discuss each animal’s habits and characteristics, how they find food, and how they raise their young. The limited text and many photos work well together, and though the books are very brief, each provides an adequate introduction for beginning readers. A habitat map and labeled picture are appended.” —The Horn Book Guide
