Polar Bear Book and movie reviews
There will also be original cartoons by David Booth of Cabin Fever Art.
I'll start with The Golden Compass and add other polar bear books and movies so come back often and join me in watching and reading about these magnificent creatures.
Klondike and Snow
True Story of the first polar bear cubs raised by hand.
Klondike & Snow
Raising 2 Polar Bear Cubs
This is one of my favorite books from my library. It's about the Denver Zoo and their raising of 2 polar bear cubs named Klondike and Snow.The cubs were born on November 6, 1994 and rejected by their mother. They were taken to the Zoo's hospital and the staff raised them.
I read it and look at the pictures again every couple of months. The pictures are just amazing and the stories that go with them are so much fun.
I learned all sorts of things like their tongues are so large when they are small cubs that they can hardly keep them in their mouths (really!).
And they also like sleeping on their backs, but when they are really young, they can't turn themselves back over so they yell and yell until someone helps them. What a great mental image -- of course the book has pictures of them on their backs.
I rate this 5 Stars!!!

Klondike and Snow teach math to kids
Polar Bear Math: Learning About Fractions from Klondike and Snow
Amazon Price: $7.99 (as of 11/16/2009)
When Klondike and Snow were abandoned by their mother, zookeepers were very concerned about their health. Zoo workers knew polar bears needed special milk but they did not know what the perfect formula was. They experimented with different fractions of milk ingredients. In this book, the reader learns about fractions by the different percentages of ingredients in the bears' milk as they grow.

The World of the Polar Bear
One of my most favorite books
The World of the Polar Bear
Amazon Price: $29.70 (as of 11/16/2009)
This is one of my favorite books on polar bears. Rosing brings polar bears to life with his absolutely stunning photographs -- many of which has inspired my sculptures -- and the writing is only surpassed IMHO by the photos. It is extremely well written and informative. I will read it again and again. A must have book for any lover of polar bears.

Klondike & Snow: The Denver Zoo's Remarkable Story of Raising Two Polar Bear Cubs by David E. Kenny
I love this book! I have fostered kittens and bottle fed them since 1999, so I could relate to bottle feeding these two babes. I was so moved by the book that half way through, my husband came in and saw me with tears streaming down my face and asked me what was wrong. I just shook my head. Nothing was wrong, I was just so moved by the tale of the raising of these two little bears.5 points
