A delightful and wildly engaging wordless story book...utterly unique.... The key to getting children interested in reading and books is to engage them in powerful ways.... Draws children into the story and allows them to use their own imaginations and creativity to create a story that belongs to them, making it up as they go along. The artist has been gifted with a marvelous ability to use illustrations to display a wide range of emotions and personality traits within a charming and very funny setting. The illustrations create curiosity, while leaving plenty of open space for individual creativity.... Kids...will likely never tire of this book, as it can be a different story every time it is picked up." - Linda M., LMBookReview "Charming wordless story.... Sanborn's cartooning is full of...polish and physical comedy." - Publisher's Weekly. "The soft, muted colors are simple, yet alluring, and bear's expressions aptly portray a range of emotions from puzzlement to mirth to mischief.... Kids will delight in polar bear's and penguins' antics and be charmed by this appealing story." - Author Natasha Yim "The illustrations not only tell the story, but they help the reader predict what is going to happen. Wordless picture books are great for working with ESL or reluctant readers because they can figure out their own narration and practice the components of telling a story. I also love the humor and goofiness.... I can't wait to share this with the kids in my library." - Allison Madsen, bookgirlut "A cute little story." - TVTV3, Top 500 VINE VOICE reviewer From the Inside Flap (Humor) The adventures of a polar bear who hitches a ride to Antarctica.
