Story Snack: The Bear Who Learned the Ice

from The Reading Bug Podcast - Original Adventures, Bedtime Stories and Music for Kids · host The Reading Bug

Book Worm's Story Snacks | The Bear Who Learned the Ice Can a Book Worm who's never left the warmth of a bookstore survive at the very top of the world? Join the Book Worm on this Arctic Story Snack and step onto the frozen ocean at the top of our planet — where the sun never sets in summer, the ice groans beneath your feet, and the most extraordinary animals alive have decided that brutal cold is, actually, completely fine. Meet Nanuk, a two-year-old polar bear who left his mother four months ago and is still working out the map she gave him. Discover why the Arctic ice is Earth's own air conditioner, learn how polar bears can smell a seal through three feet of solid frozen ocean, and travel alongside Siku — an Arctic tern who has crossed the entire planet twenty-seven times and still notices exactly where the seals are. Then, when the ice begins to crack beneath your feet, you and Nanuk will need to run. Together, you'll discover that the top of the world isn't empty at all — it's full of creatures learning the same ice, in completely different ways.
