Arctic Fox
On a freezing-cold winter morning, two hungry Arctic foxes are following a giant polar bear. Soon the bear will catch a seal. Then, once the bear has finished its meal, the patient foxes will get the chance to feed on their neighbor's leftovers. Filled with information perfectly suited to the abilities and interests of its primary-grade audience, this colorful, fact-filled book gives readers a chance not only to learn all about Artic foxes and how their bodies are adapted to the extreme cold, but also to develop their powers of observation and critical thinking. Built-in activities, such as observing the differences between an adult fox and a fox pup, will give readers a chance to gain, insights beyond the facts and figures.
