Rate this book
Travel to Earth’s far north and discover the mysterious, cute, fierce, and unique creatures― from polar bears to puffins, narwhals to hares― that call the chilly Arctic region home.

This Level 2 reader is packed with popular and lesser-known animal species that call the icy Arctic home, including hares, ptarmigans, arctic foxes, wolverines, narwhals, puffins, seals, and of course, polar bears. Whether they live on land, in the ocean, or along the coast, these creatures have clever ways to survive.

National Geographic Readers’ combination of expert-vetted text, brilliant images, and a fun approach to reading have proved to be a winning formula with kids, parents, and educators. Level 2 text provides accessible yet wide-ranging information for kids ready to read on their own, perfect to encourage the scientists and explorers of tomorrow!

Engaging photos showing Arctic creatures in their habitat take readers up close and personal to some of their favorite animals and make learning fun!

Saya jadi anggota perpustakaan jakarta sejak November 2022 tapi baru mulai browsing situsnya hari ini gara-gara ikutan acara lokakarya menulis. Dan... ternyata di fitur e-Resource tersedia link ke situs NatGeoKids! Ga maen-maen, saya dapet akses ke 777 buku, 236 video, 1,156 gambar dan 3,560 edisi majalah! Semua itu bisa diakses langsung atau di-download buat dibaca pas lagi offline. Syurga dunia~

Level 2 books are perfect for kids who are ready for longer sentences and more complex vocabulary. New words are defined on the page, but occasional adult help might be welcome.


Vocab-nya masih cukup sederhana jadi mudah dimengerti bahkan buat orang dewasa yang kemampuan bahasa Inggrisnya cukup terbatas kaya saya. Dan isinya mayan padat. Tentang kondisi di kutub dan fauna di kutub. Apa sich karakteristik dari kutub itu? Gimana sich cara fauna di kutub bertahan hidup.
Dan di setiap halamannya ada kata yang di-highlight sebagai kata "baru" dan dijelasin artinya. Semacam: predator tuh sebutan buat hewan yang memburu atau makan hewan lain. Kumpulan "kata" baru ini muncul jadi semacam kamus di halaman belakang juga.
Suka penasaran kalau pembaca cilik kita beneran baca atau cuma ngebalik tiap lembaran aja? Tenang, buku ini dilengkapi sama quiz singkat buat ngukur seberapa jauh pembaca cilik kita memahami materi di buku. Keren lah pokoknya mah
