Polar Bear Island
What's This Book About
“Welcome to Polar Bear Island. NO OTHERS ALLOWED!” So says Parker, the mayor, eager to keep the island just the way it is. But Kirby, a newly arrived penguin, is shaking things up–much to Parker’s dismay. The other polar bears love Kirby and beg Parker to let Kirby (and her family) move in. Will Parker agree . . . and make the island fun for EVERYONE? With its gentle message of inclusivity, this energetic story will delight children.
What Kind of Book is Polar Bear Island
Reviews
A meaningful message about inclusivity is shared through a simple, at times silly, story about penguins and their wonky ideas for Sled Beds, Flipper Slippers, and snow cones. While the story is perhaps too basic, it's still a timely book offering lessons on the benefits of having an open mind and learning from others, lessons that are set forth in a storyline children will grasp.
