作者簡介

瑪麗．波．奧斯本、娜塔莉．波．博以斯 (Mary Pope Osborne and Natalie Pope Boyce)

　　瑪麗與娜塔莉是姊妹，從小隨著從軍的父親旅居世界各地。今天，瑪麗住在美國紐約市與康乃狄格州；娜塔莉則住在麻薩諸塞州。瑪麗為美國知名兒童文學作家，筆下的「神奇樹屋」系列書籍廣受好評，深受孩童喜愛。瑪麗與娜塔莉合力寫作了多本神奇樹屋小百科。

　　她們兩人針對本書的創作表示：「在撰寫這本書的期間，我們開始擔心全球暖化。這是個遍布全球的現象，而北極的動物已經深受其害。根據科學家的研究，北極熊無法找到足夠的食物，變得愈來愈瘦弱，產下的小熊數量也大不如前。有些北極熊實在太飢餓，於是開始侵入人類的屋子覓食。世界各地都有人在呼籲保護北極熊的生存，研究溫室效應就是方法之一。你瞧！研究不只是為了樂趣，對某些生物來說，它可是生死存亡的關鍵。」
