Trees grow in many habitats, all around the world. Some trees are short and some are tall. Some grow in hot deserts and others grow on cold mountains. Some have leaves that are broad and wide and others are short and narrow. Some trees stay green all year round while others have leaves that change color. Compare and contrast the different characteristics of trees through vibrant photographs.

Katharine Hall has spent her entire life surrounded by books. As an avid reader from a very early age, she has always wanted to become a writer herself. Polar Bears and Penguins: A Compare and Contrast Book is Katharine s debut picture book. She is currently working on a second book about clouds that will be the second in the Compare and Contrast series. Katharine and her husband live in California with their dog, Tonks, and two mischievous cats.
K-Gr 2—Hall's latest compare and contrast book covers general facts about trees, such as where they grow (in soil, rocks, or water; in forests or alone; in hot climates or cold) and different types: broadleaf, conifers, deciduous, and evergreen. Though Hall compares the sizes of the tiny satsuki azalea bonsai and the giant redwood, no mathematical facts are included. More detailed information is appended: different tree parts, how trees turn carbon dioxide into oxygen, and resources that come from trees. The stock photos are appealing and useful, though some are slightly unfocused. VERDICT Though a decent introduction to the topic, this title won't likely hold children's attention for multiple readings.—Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary School, San Antonio, TX
