Cute Story, Nice Big Book

I bought this book to read to a toddler and I'm very satisfied -- the pictures are great and the hardcover is quality. The book is big enough that he can see the pictures while I read -- which I can't say about every children's book.

Great book even for two year olds!

I loved reading this book with my son. I found this book in our library after reading a list at www.bloggermoms.com, and he took to it right away. It gently introduces the concept of how animals are caught to bring them to the zoo, and makes the children sympathize with their plight. Also has some new words such as 'lumbered' 'arctic circle' etc for two year olds.

Wonderful Story

I buy this for all of my friends little ones - it tells a great story of accepting differences.

Great illustrations!!

An adult might find the storylines a bit repetitive but my 3 year old loves all of the Lars books. We got her some at xmas and she was so pleased that we bought all the others for her birthday 5 months later and she wants them read to her over and over. She even 'reads' them to her younger brother!

Another great Little Polar Bear story!

This beautifully illustrated book has wonderful characters and an interesting plot. My son wants it read over and over. He loves the Little Polar Bear and this particular one is his absolute favorite. It isn't heavy handed, but sets a great example for how to get along with others and be a good friend.
