In the book A Polar Bear Can Swim: What Animals Can and Cannot Do the author uses simple facts about animals to teach children about different animals. It flows nicely from one animal to the next. This is a great book to show children have special traits that help them survive.

Similiar to "Lemons are Not Red" in concept. The animal being described can do this, but not one thing in particular. Yet the animal on the next page can. The cut-outs give clues and make this book a lot of fun for a small group. I would read it to our preschool class who are ages 3-4.
