Description

For countless generations, polar bears have made the ice their home. It's a habitat that changes from day to day, season to season, keeping these marine mammals on their furry toes! Polar bears are the ultimate survivors, adapting to an environment constantly in flux. Join two curious polar bear cubs as they play, hunt, and navigate life in the Arctic. With each season, they learn polar bear biology and behavior, as well as strategies and skills that will help them thrive in a landscape that is rapidly changing beyond their control.

Author Biography

Jason Viola grew up in a small farm town in Massachusetts where he spent idle hours drawing comic strips about birds and cats. Jason went to college in Buffalo, New York, where he met his wife Rebecca. They both help organize the Boston-area comics convention MICE, and enjoy hiking together through the Middlesex Fells. Zack Giallongo is a teacher, podcaster, and cartoonist with several books under his belt including Star Wars Doodles, Ewoks: Shadows of Endor, the Stratford Zoo Midnight Revue series, and his original graphic novel, Broxo, which was a New York Times bestseller. He forages for food in the sometimes-quite-brisk landscapes of New England.

Reviews

Praise for the Science Comics series: This series--written by a handful of authors--seems determined to offer a useful introduction to anything a curious grade-school student might wonder about. The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words. --New York Times Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome! --Popular Science
