katiecatbooks's review against another edition
5.0
Preachy. Succinct. Idealistic.
Story: Billy is in elementary school and likes polar bears. He plays a computer game all about them. For homework, he has to learn all about the polar bear's food chain. After an oil spill in the Arctic, Billy and his friends set out to help save the animals.
Language: This is a yellow banana book, which means the chapters are short, but there are a lot of words in each chapter. Some vocabulary may be new, but pictures help to illustrate the story.
Characters: Billy is the main character, though his family and teacher and classmates serve as side characters. Billy's father plays a very present role in this book, which may appeal to boy readers.
A good fast paced story about environmentalism, with a bit of imagination thrown in for fun.
