Review

This is an example of a market driven book. It is not great literature, but it is still a good read for it's intended audience. The audience is any child who loves Frozen & anything to do with the movie. Also, children who enjoy stories about winter and polar bears. Why are polar bears suddenly showing up in Arendelle? Anna & Elsa need to figure it out and get the polar bears safely back to the Arctic Circle. Black & white illustrations are peppered throughout the book. They add a little dimension to the story and offer a rest area for the reader. This title is also a part of the Stepping Stone Book series. It is a solid chapter book choice for independent readers as well as the droves of Frozen fans. Not an overwhelming length and short chapters. A solid addition to most libraries, especially those who have a strong Frozen fan base.

Overall Book Score: good
