Summary:
Polar was a stuffed animal gifted to Douglas and now journeys through life with him. Through many different traveling trips, they are planning to go on the Titanic to head back home to New York. Polar experiences the wonders that the Titanic held, including its final hours. Polar and Douglas were able to make it on a life boat but then Douglas accidentally left him when they were rescued onto the Carpathia. They are reunited and safe in New York; however, since Douglas has to return to school, Polar does not get to seem his as often, but knows that he will always be important in his life.
Evaluation:
This book is worth the read! I am fascinated by the Titanic and this book is super special because it was written by a survivor to her son who was also on the Titanic. After reading through it, I am not exactly sure if this is a non fiction book but I am going to classify it as one since the only fictional part of the book is that it is through the eyes of a stuffed bear; however, I think that helps children understand and find more interest in the events that took place. I would read this book to my class and even have it in my classroom library because I remember I used to love reading anything about the Titanic when I was a child so I am sure I will have at least one student who finds an interest in it.
