My son absolutely loves the Wild Kratts. While love the more realistic nature readers, these are perfect little readers that introduce the simplicity of so many creatures in an enjoyable way for young ones.

Grandmama gave Thomas this book for his 5th birthday.

This one gets a solid meh. It’s a decent easy reader for fans of the show Wild Kratts. Brothers Chris and Martin explore the various creature powers of animals that live in arctic climates. My concerns are that it is classified as a step 2, when really it should be higher due to length and the word choice. And the word stickers on the front is an immediate turn-off for a library. But for the price and considering the popularity of the show, I would still consider making the purchase. Optional purchase.

Pretty good - I liked the motif of the "Three Fs" for staying warm in the winter....but then not every animal they talked about used them. (Voles stay warm underground and some hibernate.)

Bonus points for penguins!

My kids are big fans of the Kratts, so they loved this book (as a read aloud). The kratts meet some fascinating winter creatures and highlight some of their important creature powers. Engaging and fun read for early readers who like animals.

A decent, fun, short educational book about a few winter animals presented by the Kratt Brothers...

In this Step into Reading science reader, we learned that fur, feathers and fat are the key three aspects that keep cold weather animals alive. Another favorite Kratts read for my first grader!

There's a good variety of animals in this one. Was a little surprised there's no mention of habitats disappearing since that appears in most Kratt books.
