Polar Post by Kathy Arnold Cherry is an adventurous and imaginative children’s novel that transports readers to the magical Erutuf National Park. The story follows siblings Reese and Dean, along with their dog Tutu, as they are whisked away to a park in the Arctic region. The novel masterfully combines excitement and education, featuring interactive elements like Junior Ranger activities that encourage kids to engage with the natural world. Reese’s love of math and Dean’s constant humor bring a unique dynamic to their sibling relationship. Tutu’s newfound ability to talk adds more fun to the story with her humorous comments about treats and adventures. The children navigate ice mazes, meet a magic-performing polar bear named Ty, and encounter virtual reality experiences.
Kathy Arnold Cherry's writing is lively and eloquently captures the spirit of childhood exploration. The interactions with the park’s magical inhabitants, such as talking animals, add excitement and fun, while the story’s educational aspects encourage young readers to consider the importance of conservation.
