Although I did not see the television documentary on these two little darlings, I nevertheless loved the book. Although they are now big bears, the story of little Klondike and Snow's early years is interesting, educational and touching. Abandoned by their mother as cubs, the two bears were raised by humans. This book clearly illustrates the love and devotion of the Denver Zoo towards the cubs' care and development. Klondike and Snow are now thriving at Sea World's Wild Arctic exhibit, were they have plenty of living space and attention!This book is wonderful for any animal lover and people interested in animal/human interaction.
Anyone who was fascinated by the PBS program on these two polar bears will enjoy this book. It tells the story of their early years before being transfered to the Florida zoo. The photos are amazing! I've used this book as a resource with K-6th graders, and all ages have loved it. The text under the photos is very small and in blue, making it difficult to read, but the main text is fine, and otherwise the book is wonderful. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in these two very special bears.
I had it in just 3 days - from the US to Denmark! Peak performance! And all in time for a very small person's B-day!
We loved these bears start in our hometown and loveds sharing this book with our daughters, one who was born the day after we saw the bears at the zoo for the first time! Great for kids and adults alike! The pictures and the story are wonderful.
