Review quotes

The Animal Allies series (4 titles) highlights examples of symbiosis within the animal kingdom. While most of the series deals with mutualism, this title examines commensalism, a relationship in which one animal benefits but the other isn't harmed. Here the arctic fox's strategy of following polar bears to share in their kills is revealed. The text is written in a narrative style that will draw in readers, and it smoothly incorporates general facts about polar bears and arctic foxes, such as physical descriptions, position on the food chain, diet, and hunting abilities. The final chapter touches on challenges related to climate change. Large photos appear on every page, and "Did You Know?" fact boxes are scattered throughout. The book concludes with additional polar bear and arctic fox facts and stats.—Julia Smith "Booklist"
