Polar Bear and the UFO
Polar Bear and the UFO contains two things kids love: stories about polar bears and UFOs! The story begins in the frostiest reaches of the Arctic Circle, where a polar bear lies next to a hole in the ice waiting for a seal. When a passing UFO offers a super interstellar cosmic buffet, Polar Bear and UFO embark on a foraging journey through space. Turns out, space food doesn’t taste anything like seal.
Polar Bear and the UFO Reviews:
This book is so cute! Great rhyming, beautiful illustrations, and adorable polar bear you can root for! Just the right mix of silly and educational to make this book a total gem.
The illustrations are simply magical, from a friendly polar bear staring from the cover, through the cool tones of the Arctic, to the swirling warmth of Mars. This unusual twist on space travel is a delight.
I appreciated the subtle hints of climate change, and the ending made me laugh pretty hard
I loved the adventures of Polar Bear and the UFO and I would love this book to become a series. It is great evidence that differences do not make friendships impossible, not at all.
