Editorial review
A successful proposal within children's naturalistic non-fiction literature. The riddle structure is effective in capturing the attention of the little ones and turning reading into a participatory game. The choice of polar animals, less common in other titles, provides differential value and awakens interest in distant ecosystems. Recommended for families and schools looking for a first approach to nature through fun.
