Animals Illustrated:  Polar Bear

William Flaherty is a conservation officer and an avid hunter from Iqaluit, Nunavut.  He writes about the polar bears who live in the Arctic Ocean and who have been a part of the culture and survival of the Inuit people for generations.  

This informative introduction to polar bears includes their range, diet, babies, their predators, information on polar bears as hunters and swimmers.  Gently and warmly illustrated, the book hits a high point with the carefully drawn skeleton which sits against a black background illuminating each bone and creating a feeling of mystery and power.

The book completes its introduction to polar bears with a mention of the place polar bears hold in Inuit mythology.
