Brought to their young audience by the successful duo behind the good night children books ´If I Had a...´ - writer and poet Gabby Dawney and illustrator Alex Barrow - If I Had a Polar Bear explores the possibilities of what does it mean to have a polar bear as a pet. An unconventional choice, of course, but children do always put us in impossible to refuse situations.
Aimed at 3+ children, it also helps the little ones to develop their animals-based vocabulary, with some visual riddles they are challenged to solve at the very beginning of the book. Just the best way to keep them interested until the end of the book. The vocabulary is also well aimed at offering not only an adventure in the world of imagination, but equally the chance to learn new words at the end of the journey.
Both the illustrations and texts are catchy, and my son remained focused until the very end. You can read it as a bedtime story or during the day in the Kindergarten, or use it as an English learning material.
An enjoyable read - with colourful beautiful illustrations as well - both for children and their grandparents and parents, If I Had a Polar Bear was published just in time for the winter season. Outdoors or indoors, one - no matter the age - can easily dream about how life with a polar bear would be. I am definitely in for such a sweet procrastination!
