Ahoy There, Little Polar Bear!

From the title, I was expecting a rhyming book which this is not, so was a little disappointed when we received it. It still has a nice story that my 2yo son enjoys. The illustrations are charming as well. A good addition to our bilingual library (this book is only in Spanish).

"Ahoy There Little Polar Bear" is a story about a polar bear named Lars who lives in the north pole. One day, Lars swam out too far in the water and got his foot stuck in something. It was a net and it reeled him up and onto a fishing boat. Onboard, he met Nemo, the ship's cat. Nemo was willing to help Lars get back to the north pole, so when the ship docked at the next port, Nemo took Lars to see some other cats. They decided that Lars should get on one of the ships that was leaving for the north pole the next day. So they sneaked Lars onboard early the next day and soon Lars was back in his home at the north pole.I think that this is a very good book because it is quite interesting. It can keep a reader's attention during the whole book I believe. The book has a cool plot with neat characters and good description. Lars is a fun character that is interesting just to hear about.

My daughter first discover Lars when someone gave her the video of the little polar bear (in german). For weeks/ months afterwards every second word was "Lars" (she was one at the time). Now on a recent trip to Germany I bought some of the books, so every night she wants to hear about Lars' adventures. Even though she has seen the video and heard the stories hundreds of time, she wants to hear them over and over again. And even though I have read them to her lots of times I'm still not bored with "Lars, the Little Polar Bear" and wont be for a very long time. The books are just that wonderful.

Pop-ups were great, art work is cute and cuddley. Recommendfor all kids.

All these polar bear books have a very happy ending. The drawings are beautiful, there is no violence or blood. The bear seems to get into trouble, but there are always other kind animals that bail him out.
