Show full description
When winter arrives, animals living in cold regions need to adapt to their environment.
Do polar bears build homes? Do penguins snuggle with a friend? Yes! But polar bear homes aren't made of wood, and penguins don't cuddle on a couch. Instead, these animals and many more have found amazing ways to survive the chilly weather.
Whether it's whales layering up with 30 centimetres of blubber or turtles burrowing into the mud to snooze and wait for spring, Do Frogs Drink Hot Chocolate? is filled with fascinating tidbits about animal behavior in winter. This interactive non-fiction book is written in an engaging question-and-answer format that encourages kids to predict the answers and shout them out!
