Book #12: Polar Bears Past Bedtime

Their magic tree house takes Jack and Annie to the Arctic...where they get on thin ice with a polar bear.

Well, it's hard to believe we've done twelve months of Magic Tree House, but we have. For our twelfth meeting, we were lucky enough to have Bronwyn Llewellyn of the World Wildlife Fund come from Washington DC to talk to us about polar bears and polar bear conservation. She showed us a plastic-cast of a full size polar bear head, real polar bear claws, and a bunch of other cool stuff, along with a Powerpoint featuring photos of some of the work done by the WWF to help track and save the recently endangered polar bear. She told us about some of the things that are currently harming the polar bear and we learned what we can do to help, including how we can participate in Earth Hour . At the end everyone received stickers, WWF decals, and pens.

Join us on Thursday, December 11th for the next Magic Tree House Book Club, featuring book #13, Vacation Under the Volcano. Don't forget to register!
