Polar Bears Past Bedtime by Mary Pope Osborne

Jack and Annie went to the frozen Artic but didn´t have proper clothes to wear. Luckily, they met a seal hunter who gave them coats, mittens and boots. The seal hunter had a dogsled with huskies. Annie and Jack thought they were wolves. So, they went to an igloo where the seal hunter told them stories about Polar bears and gave them two riddles. Later, when they were playing on the snowbank, they saw two bear cubs. Jack and Annie stayed there with the bears but suddenly they heard a crack and found out they were on a thin ice. Just then, there was another sound. It was the mother bear who had just arrived. Annie and Jack put bear masks to pretend they were Polar Bears and be able to go back to the igloo. Before they return to the magic tree house, they remembered about the riddles. One of them is: "Look at the letters: the first not the rest. Discover the place, that you love the best." Read the book to find the answer. (Isabela Lima-4th grade)
