My Little Polar Bear by Claudia Rueda


My Little Polar Bear is a sweet and simple story about a baby polar asking his mother if he is a polar bear. His mother tries to explain to him how he is polar bear. She explains that he was born in the Arctic, is white like the snow, has large feet, can walk on snow, smells seals, is a good swimmer, and can find his way in a snow storm. The little polar bear says he does not swim well, he gets lost in the snow, and he slips. The mother bear tells her baby that she will teach him all of these things. The one thing the little polar bear knows for sure is that his mother loves him.

This story is very simple and for beginner readers in Kindergarten and 1st grade. The story is something that many parents can relate to. All children need to learn from their parents as they grow up. This is a great book for students learning to read because there are only a few words on each page and they are fairly simple words.

The book caught my eye because of the blue glitter cover. All the pictures are very simple in blue and white. I was not that fond of the illustrations, but the simplicity of them goes along with the simplicity of the story. It is not trying to hard, it just a plain and simple sweet story. When i read this to my second grade child study student he really liked it because he could read along with me. I think this story would be a good addition to a Kindergarten and first grade classroom. Kids will enjoy it and parents will enjoy it as well.
