Best Interactive Books For Kids
When your kids become disengaged from reading the same books over and over, interactive books are an excellent solution to keep them engaged in something new. With interactive books, kids get to touch, pull, shake the book throughout the text – which may help keep them occupied for longer!
Parents also instruct children how to choose their own paths, an invaluable skill that they can utilize throughout life.
3. Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?
Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are iconic symbols of the Arctic. These marine mammals spend most of their lives at sea, making them unique among bear species that depend on ocean habitat and food for survival. Unfortunately, climate change is disrupting their sea ice habitat.
Polar bears spend much of the winter months on the sea ice hunting seals at open leads and breathing holes. They may also hunt walruses and narwhals when they can be located, as well as small amounts of other prey like fish.
Polar bears depend on the sea ice for traveling, hunting, resting and mating. But their habitat is shrinking, making it harder for them to explore as much or stay close to home during periods of ice breakup and thawing.
Polar bears’ thick fur helps them survive cold and snowy Arctic weather. Furthermore, its fur reflects heat back into the animal, keeping it warmer for longer.
Female polar bears give birth in wintertime to one to four cubs (usually two) that weigh less than 1 kg when born. They nurture their young for 28 months until they are weaned and leave the den.
Males, on the other hand, tend to be much larger than their female counterparts and average between 410-720 kg (930-1,600 pounds). Their large bodies are covered in insulating fat which provides protection from harsh Arctic environments.
They possess powerful claws, which they use to grasp and hold slippery seals. Furthermore, their keen sense of smell allows them to detect seals even under one metre of compacted snow.
These strong claws are also used for grasping ice, giving Polar bears traction when walking or running on it. Furthermore, Polar bears possess excellent swimming capabilities; they can swim long distances between land and the ice if necessary.
Polar bears are the largest land carnivores, growing to weight up to 800 kilograms (1,760 pounds) as adults. Additionally, these fast-running mammals can run at speeds of 30 kilometers per hour.
