Description

A majestic polar bear heads out on a mysterious walk in a dazzling, playful collaboration from an exciting pair of picture-book creators. Follow a magnificent polar bear through a fantastic world of snow and shockingly blue sea. Over the ice, through the water, past Arctic animals and even a human . . . where is he going? What does he want? Acclaimed author Mac Barnett’s narration deftly balances suspense and emotion, as well as poignant, subtle themes, compelling us to follow the bear with each page turn. Artist Shawn Harris’s striking torn-paper illustrations layer white-on-white hues, with bolts of blue and an interplay of shadow and light, for a gorgeous view of a stark yet beautiful landscape. Simple and thought-provoking, illuminating and intriguing, this engaging picture book will have readers pondering the answer to its final question long after the polar bear has continued on his way.

Fast favorite!

We purchased this book for our two year old and were so glad we did! The art work is lovely and so creative. The story is just right for our two year old who loves to recite and answer the questions in the story. We have lots of books at our house and this one is regularly requested.

Unique Art

My favorite part about this book is the art! It's really unique to a lot of other children's books and I love that. The story is simple, which makes it a great practice book for readers just starting to learn. I highly recommend this book!

Pictures not colorful

We sent this book to our great grandson who is 3 and lives in Chicago so I thought the snow would be fun for him. I was disappointed in the pictures which were not very colorful and the content of the story was not very interesting. I did not hear if he liked the book.
