Ice Bears Written by Brenda Z. Guiberson Illustrated by Ilya Spirin
Release Date: October 28, 2008
On a freezing day in the arctic, two polar bear cubs are born. Deep inside the snow den, the mother snuggles her cubs
to keep them warm. In a few months it is mild enough to venture outside. The mother teaches her cubs how to use their
claws so they don't slip in their frozen world. She leads them across the sea ice, the only place to hunt for seals,
their primary food. All the bears need to fatten up to survive through the summer, when the ice is gone and food is
scarce.
Mud City: A Flamingo Story Written and Illustrated by Brenda Z. Guiberson
On a muddy mound in a salty lake, a mother and father flamingo take turns protecting their egg from the hot sun.
Soon a fluffy white chick hatches in the nest near the mangrove roots.
Rain, Rain, Rain Forest Written by Brenda Z. Guiberson
Illustrated by Steve Jenkins
A downpour wakes the creatures of the rain forest. Howler monkeys roar and drink the water that drips from
nearby leaves. In a place that gets twenty feet of it a year, rain is a way of life.
