Germantown, MD, March 06, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Children of all ages get a thrill when they meet Dancer, a polar bear who lives in Canada in the Arctic. This sweet-faced polar bear needs help. Temperatures at his home aren’t as cold as they used to be, and the ice is melting. When it’s cold, polar bears walk across the ice to find seals. They can walk for a long time but can’t swim as far. If the sea ice disappears, they won’t be able to hunt for food, putting the already endangered bears further in jeopardy.

Dancer Under the Lights, published by Dog Ear Publishing, puts the issue of global warming in terms even young children can understand. The author urges people to help, doing such simple things as car pooling and following the “three R’s” – reuse, recycle and reduce. Delightful illustrations by Anthony Sacco enhance the book, as do fun facts about polar bears. For instance, newborn polar bears are about a foot long, and adult bears can grow to 10 feet tall. They also love the cold; they can survive when the temperature reaches 50 degrees below zero. Adults and children can read this story together, learning about the majestic polar bear and how anyone can help them.

Author Joe Sacco was a science teacher and principal in Maryland. He now is associate director of education for Friends of the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. A trip to Churchill, Canada, and a meeting with a bear named Dancer inspired this book.
