Commentary During Books Polar Bears Past Bedtime (Magic Tree House #12)
I am honestly blown away by this book. The magic tree house takes Annie and Jack to the arctic where they learn some very quick facts about Inuit culture (in the broadest possible terms), but that's not what impressed me so much (obviously). Throughout the story, Jack models really great research skills. They go on their journey with a book about the arctic and Jack consults it or their Inuit guide whenever they have questions. He constantly takes notes, and whenever something seems strange or magical he tries to find a logical, scientific explanation. I also happened to pick the book where they become Master Librarians, which really tickles me. Mary Pope Osborne clearly values reading, writing, and research skills, and these books are such a tremendous, rich way to inspire young people to take up those values.I will definitely continue to recommend these books to kids. More excitingly, I will have added gusto when I talk them up to parents because now I know all the dynamite awesome things Mary Pope Osborne is low key promoting!
Another in a long line of books to attempt to read all the children's series my library has on the shelves.

He constantly takes notes, and whenever something seems strange orI like how Magic Tree House books integrate non-fiction with it's fictional story. Sometimes the integration is a little bit clunky. The vocabulary, especially the scientific vocabulary, would probably be difficult for the age group who'd be trying to read this. However, it was an interesting read and I'm sure kids that already like the Magic Tree House series or similar series would enjoy this.
I did not like Polar Bears Past Bedtime because mostly they were just playing with baby polar bears.It would have been better if they found nice arctic wolfs and they rode them back to the igloo.

Did I enjoy this book: This is the first chapter book that we read to our nearly 3-year-old son. We read it over the course of three nights (bedtime story), and he loves it! Polar Bears Past Bedtime is the twelfth of the Magic Tree House series, so the beginning of the story was a little confusing because we didnt have any background knowledge about the series, but that didnt detract from the story.My young one was excited to follow the story of Annie and Jack through their arctic adventures.
I think that this book is pretty good if you are a type of reader that likes to read fictional books. The reason why I gave this book a five star rating is, that Jack and Annie both go on a mission to solve a riddle for Morgan Le Fy (aka:The boss of the tree house).Jack and Annie go to the Artic where it's freezing cold. But they have a little problem, they both get stuck on cracking ice. But with the help of a mama polar bear will she save them? OR will Jack and Annie become frozen dinners?
The MTH books that feature people of different cultures are sometimes a little reductive or over-simplified, and they tend to represent more ancient variations of said cultures. I would suggest maybe supplementing this with other texts about indigenous Arctic cultures if that is the topic that you are focusing on with your children. However, this is also a book with fun facts about polar bears; that's an easier subject to broach, and one that can go many different directions.
I liked all of the parts. I thought the glowing in the sky was interesting.
