Summary: This is a nonfiction book comparing and contrasting two animals that live at the polar opposites of the world the Polar Bear and the Penguin. Real color photographs and scientific facts help young readers learn more about these creatures.

Reflection: This book has great photographs and a lot of simple yet interesting facts for the young reader interested in animals. It also has a nice section at the back of the book that teachers and parents can use to expand on some of the ideas introduced in the book. (
