Polar Bears Past Bedtime

I picked this book up expecting to feel brain cells dying as I read it. I was very wrong; I can see why my students enjoy this series so much. It's very well written (albeit extremely simplistic) and interesting. It was an extremely quick read and is educational, to boot!

In my opinion the book “Polar Bears Past Bedtime” by Mary Pope Osborne is an engaging chapter book for young students to read. First, the plot is organized and well paced allowing students to make predictions about what will happen in the story. For example, when Jack hears an owl hooting at his window young students may be able to predict that they are going to soon go to the magic tree house for an adventure. Second, the book pushes readers to think about factual information of the arctic as well as the characteristics of the region. “The word ‘igloo’ means ‘house’ in the language of native Arctic people. The house is built with blocks of snow.” This gives readers insight about the Arctic while telling certain things show more you may find there. The big idea of the book “Polar Bears Past Bedtime” revolves around the Arctic and teamwork to solve adventures! show less

This one was ok, he liked the polar bears on ice the most and we definitely picked up some new words. He also was just super eager to get to the volcano book next

I liked the book “Polar Bears Past Bedtime”. One aspect I liked about this book was the writing. The writing was very descriptive and flowed really well. “The snowdrifts looked like giant white sculptures as the sun slipped behind the frozen hills. Then a full orange moon rose in the sky.” Another aspect I liked about this book was the few illustrations it had. The illustrations accurately portrayed what Jack and Annie were doing. The big idea of this book is to allow for adventure. Jack and Annie go on many adventures throughout the night.

Jack and Annie need to solve riddle to become Master Librarian by going on adventures, easy reading, some black and white pictures, good bridge between picture books and more advanced novels; demonstrates love of reading and discovering, courage, keep trying

siblings Jack and Annie travel to the arctic in their magic tree house on a mission to solve a riddle. With the help of a friendly Eskimo, they learn about polar bears, seals, igloos, husky dogs, and courage.
This is a very cute and educational book! The adventure and excitement will captivate young readers and the little informational tidbits are presented in a fun and memorable way.

Since I couldn't think of any witty opener to this review I will simply: *INSERT ICE-BREAKER HERE*

Jack & Annie are at it again! They are on a mission in the Arctic to solve the 4th riddle so they can become Master Librarians and help Morgan even more. Can they take the freeze? Do polar bears fly? Along the way they will meet polar bears, Siberian huskies and a seal hunter. ---(My favorite picture was the one with the Snowy Owl)----

Until the next adventure!
