It starts with a blank page and builds to following a polar bear on adventures in the arctic. The text in this book is really sparse and simple, but the illustrations really make it. The paper collage art is so texturally pleasing, it begs to be touched (even though the book itself isn’t textured). Kids will delight in the art, and trying to predict what the polar bear will do next. Recommended for wide purchase and for readers 2 and up.
