"Although the text in this book is clearly aimed at age 5-7 readers, the spectacular photographs and rich descriptive language will be enjoyed by all ages. I thoroughly enjoyed the photographs of the polar bear cubs riding on their mother's back and tumbling over her prostrate body, and could almost see and hear the guffawing walruses as the noisy mischievous polar bear cubs spoiled their mother's 'silent' hunting of the walrus colony. A visual and textual delight that every child should have the pleasure of viewing, reading, and/or being read to.
Highly recommended."

"Insightful text and crisp nature photography. . . From cover to cover, the presentation is gentle; a photo shows the mother dragging a dead seal from the water and across the ice, but no blood is apparent. This book will charm children and fulfill lower elementary curriculum needs."
— School Library Journal

"The simply written, informative text is beautifully illustrated by photos that are notable for their clarity and for their single source: wildlife photographer Wayne Lynch."
— Booklist

"The photos are up close and incredible."
— Today's Parent

"In Baby Polar Bear, basic facts and the life cycle of the polar bear are beautifully depicted in simple text and fabulous colour photographs. . . This is a timely addition to the collections of classrooms and school libraries."
— Canadian Teacher Magazine
