Review Quotes
"What a joy it was to read Are You A Polar Bear? by Andrew Gabriel. The story follows the adventures of an adorable polar bear cub who is looking for his mom.
While the storyline is simple, the story of a young polar bear cub who can't find his mother is sure to resonate with toddlers and young children. Seemingly undaunted by the fact that he is all alone and doesn't even know what a polar bear looks like, this brave little polar bear sets out all by himself to try to find his mother. While he searches for her, we're introduced to all sorts of arctic animals and learn something about each one.
The illustrations are beautiful and clearly help us to identify the differences between each animal and a polar bear.
We'd highly recommend this book. All children should enjoy the story and, if they happen to develop a love and interest in polar bears and other arctic animals, that would be even better!"

"A twist on the classic "Are you my mother?", this wonderful book introduces little children to the many animals that live in the Arctic through the heartwarming quest of a baby polar bear. Andrew's passion for teaching children shines through - this book is a must-have for young animal lovers!"

"Are You a Polar Bear? is an absolutely wonderful story of an adorable little polar bear who has lost his mother. As he is out seeking his mother, he encounters many other arctic animals that tell him why they are not his mother. It can really teach students if you are brave and determined you can have a happy ending, just like the little polar bear! As a teacher, I look forward to using this book to introduce new vocabulary and adjectives while keeping the students captivated in the story. It is also great for teaching sequencing to young readers as they track the little polar bear's journey."

"Are You a Polar Bear? is going to be an adorable addition to my classroom library. I fell in love with the brave little polar bear who is searching for his Mommy and needs a little help remembering what polar bears look like. With each new friend he meets during his search he learns something about himself and also something about his new arctic friends. This will be such a fun lesson on realizing how unique and special we all look. I also love the look of this book and the way the illustrator captured the cold feeling of the arctic and the sweet faces of the animals. I'm sure the children are going to want to read this story again and again."
