A fictional story of two polar bear cubs is interspersed with factual information about their habitat and life cycle. What I appreciated most was how the authors made clear how climate change affects these animals.

Part of the Science Comics series
Using humor, brightly colored graphics, and apparently thorough research, this book gives an interesting while introductory look at the life of polar bears. Readers will be entranced by the antics of the twin polar bear cubs learning what it takes to survive on the ice. It also addresses the plight they face due to climate change but without taking away all hope. There are a few panels dedicated to some things humans can do to help the polar bears at the end.
There are a few suggestions for further reading as well as glossary, ice terminology, and notes at the back of the book.
