This book is the second in the Save the Earth series.
The picture book targets children in the early elementary grades. It centers around the plight of a polar bear named Nanu. He is hungry because the Arctic is warming and many of his food sources have become scarce.
Nanu meets a Beluga whale named Toklo who introduces him to Ahnah who lives in a local village. They join together to employ conservation measures to conserve energy and increase food resources.
A good introduction to the subject of climate change and conservation for young children.
Publisher’s Synopsis: Chipper the Fox and his Arctic friends travel to summer camp for fun in the sun! After an amazing summer, how will they stay in touch with their new friends and keep their summer adventure going?
Kimber Morgan is a multi-award-winning children’s book author who lives in Charlotte, North Carolina. Kimber is a fun wife and imperfect mom of 3 crazy kiddos and two little lemon (problematic) dogs. She tries to live her strengths the best she can. Morgan is a homemade Halloween costume type of mom who lets her kids mix the Play-Doh. She bakes fun birthday cakes (cutely, but far from perfection) and loves a homemade Valentine and a school project.
Writing children’s books is an extension of her creative strength. She strives to create picture books that are beautiful, engaging, humorous, and with themes of acceptance and kindness. She hopes you love reading her works. Kimber is available for author visits and wants to connect with you.
Chipper and his friends from the arctic region decide to go south on a camping vacation. When they arrive at Bright Stars Camp, they immediately forge new friendships. They engage in activities like archery, swimming, sunning on the beach, and racing competitions.
Alas, the time moves swiftly. How will they continue the bonds formed here over until seeing each other again next year. Each of the arctic friends attempts to send gifts to their new friends, but none arrive safely. Finally, they discover the perfect gift. Can you guess what it is?
This charming rhyming, animal picture book contains illustrations that are delightful to look at and fun to read. I would suggest it as a bedtime story or group read aloud for preschool and primary grade children.

CHECK OUT THE NEWEST REVIEW OF LITTLE MISS HISTORY TRAVELS TO THE NORTH POLE BY LINDA MARIE FRANK…
Spurring the imagination of young readers is something Barbara Ann Mojica does with a combination of elements that make her Little Miss History books such a success. The book is a wonderful Christmas present because Little Miss History is visiting the North Pole this time, and of course, Santa Claus figures into the history of this magical place. Mojica captures the mystery of the North Pole, one of the most unique places on Earth. She explains the geography, ecology and wild life of this special place. The history figures prominently in the book, from the Inuits to the famous explorations of the North Pole. Besides being a factually rich fun learning experience, the book is GORGEOUS. The illustrations are vibrant, with accurate details. Each page is to be savored, visited again and again. Each page leads the reader on to the next treasure. I can’t wait to give this Little Miss History Visits the North Pole to my grandson. Linda Maria Frank, author of The Annie Tillary Mysteries. The author provided the book for review.
The author has written several books with the intent to inform the reader about animals and their environments. He writes well in an easy to read format that will appeal to both children and adults. Gorgeous pictures illustrate each of the major points. As is the case with previous books in the series, Don Juan covers every aspect of the arctic fox’s life. You will learn about appearance, feeding, geography, mating, behavior, habitat, predators, and dangers to humans. Near the end of this short sixty page book, the author provides a summary of fun facts with questions and answers. This makes the book perfect for a unit study or cooperative learning project in the classroom.
Without giving away all the wonderful details that the author provides, I will provide a short summary about this amazing animal. The arctic fox ( Vulpes lagopus ) has many common names. These include polar fox, white fox, and snow fox. This animal lives in the alpine tundra or arctic regions. Despite its name, this animal is not always white. It is born a darker brown color which gradually becomes white over time, while in summer its color actually returns to brown providing camouflage. Its body is round and fat with short legs and a thick tail preventing loss of heat; adaptations that evolved over time so that it could survive in this harsh environment. The arctic fox preys on smaller animals, the lemming being its favorite when available. In spring it will attack baby ringed seals. Fish found beneath the ice are also a food staple. Arctic foxes live in caves or burrow in the sides of cliffs. They are generally monogamous and choose one lifelong mate. The mother’s litter of kits generally ranges from seven to fifteen. Their average life span is only three to four years. Polar bears are their biggest enemy, but wolves, snowy owls and humans also hunt them. They have keen senses especially in the area of smell and hearing. Arctic foxes carry diseases like rabies and encephalitis and may be affected by mercury poisoning from the fish that they eat.
Readers will learn much more by studying in detail the text and photographs in this unique book. Just the thing to stretch your mind and remind you of the wonders and beauties of nature.
