Build prepositions, position words, WH questions, story sequencing, and Arctic animal vocabulary with this interactive Polar Bear Adapted Book, "The Prowling Little Polar Bear"!

📖 Sample Text

"Way up north,

near the frigid, frozen sea…

A prowling little polar bear

was "prowly" as can be.

He prowled over an iceberg,

and right past an Arctic fox.

He prowled under a snowy owl,

and behind an old musk ox!

He prowled around a walrus,

and beneath a flappy seal.

He prowled around a caribou

out digging for a meal!"

(You get the idea!)
