  This series of cross-stitch chart books brings together the work of your favourite cross stitch designers. Each title in the series contains 10 pages of charted cross stitch designs on one popular subject. Every chart includes an easy-to-use key, and an inspirational colour photograph of each finished piece shows the fantastic results to be achieved. Each chart book also provides handy stitching tips and advice, stitch diagrams, guidance on techniques and materials, and a thread conversion chart to ensure you have all the information required to complete every design featured. From the biggest polar bear to playful penguins, arctic life is evoked through these two very different creatures. A polar bear mother stands watch over her cubs as they rest on an Arctic ice flow, while another cub and his mother take a stroll together through the snow. Grand emperor penguins, with their distinguished yellow marking, warm their chicks, while another pair rest after a long day's fishing. A group of Antartic Adelie penguins launch themselves into the cold sea. Finally, a cute penguin chick and a pair of polar bear cubs make charming small pictures.

  Poles Apart: Why Penguins and Polar Bears will Never be Neighbors

  Santa Claus frolicking with penguins and polar bears--do you know what's wrong with this picture? Actually, no penguin has ever lived at the North Pole, nor any polar bear at the South Pole.

Find out what makes a compass point north and why it won't work at the poles. Discover how a tropical island wound up as the coldest spot on earth and why only penguins survive there today. And learn the fascinating story of human involvement with the poles, from the early explorers to the impact of global warming. With dramatic color photographs and clear, simple text, Poles Apart offers the perfect introduction to the secrets of the poles.

  The Polar Bear Tanguista

  Claus has just returned home from traveling throughout Africa. Unfortunately, on the same night that he is reunited with his fury friends, a very sassy bear named Lilly insults him by remarking that his dance skills leave much to be desired. Always needing to have the last word, Claus sets out to become a great tanguista. In the process he becomes the target (at least he thinks) of a dastardly pirate who's out to kidnap his Tango instructor Madame Cupcake, is maligned by a television show host and hostess who think he is a phony, and has to come up with a title for his travel memoirs - all before his big dance competition. Can he do it?
