Protecting the Planet: Ice Journey of the Polar Bear

By Martin Jenkins

Illustrated by Lou Baker-Smith

A beautifully illustrated and atmospheric story exploring how polar bears are coping with climate change; a stunning new addition to the Protecting the Planet series.

It snowed last night. The first fall of the season. More is on its way. For this polar bear, this is a sign it's time to make a den, a safe place to sleep through the harsh Arctic winter and to give birth to her cubs. But the Arctic is changing; familiar landscapes are melting. What kind of world will her cubs grow up in? This beautifully illustrated picture book gently explores the effects of climate change on polar bears, along with information on how we can all make a difference and protect the planet for these majestic animals.

Reviews

'An important book to add to KS1/2 classroom collections and family bookshelves.' Red Reading Hub

'The start of the book starts the polar bear’s journey so it made me want to read and find out more. I really like the pictures. I love how they have been drawn… The book also taught me about climate change and the foods that polar bears love to eat.' Books Up North

'The text is informative without being preachy and, as we follow the journey the bear makes, we discover all sorts of astonishing facts… Lou-Baker-Smith’s painterly, realist illustrations fill the pages and bring the Polar Bear’s journeys vividly to life.' The Letterpress Project
