AN IMPOSSIBLY CUDDLY BABY POLAR BEAR

travels from one magical place to another. "Hush baby polar bear. Sleep in the snow, and dream of the places where sleeping bears go." Readers follow a baby snow-white plush polar bear that has been brought to life by his owner's imagination from the back of a whale with the sea spray surrounding, to a land of tall grass where butterflies float by up into the sky itself…and happily right back through the window into the loving arms of his owner asleep in bed. Mack's lush and lovable illustrations suit the lulling, rhyming text to make a perfect bedtime book sure to leave readers and listeners with warm and fuzzy feelings read after read.

Awesome book & story!
I purchased this book as a stocking stuffer for my sweet little 18 month old. I only had the chance to read it once before having to put it away with his other Christmas things but I can already tell that it's going to be a hit in his book collection and even as he grows! The story is calming & sweet and I think its going to be great for any child's wild little imagination. I can't wait to read this to my son every night before bed. I think he'll adore this book as much as I do especially when he starts getting an understanding of the actual story. I've attached some photos just to give an idea of the rhythm and illustrations.

    I got this book to read to my 6 month old baby at bed time. We always read a story before bed and this one looked really sweet. And it is - a nice little story, not too long and not too short, with very pretty pictures, and ending with child and stuffed bear in bed. Perfect for bed time. My 6 month old likes looking at it and my 3 year old son really enjoys reading it, too.

    Oh my goodness... if you don't have this book already, get it! I sing it to my son every night and he loves it (he's a year and a half). It's soothing and keeps his attention since I'm singing it and not just reading it. The illustrations are adorable and the story is so sweet. By far, my favorite book for my son!

    Edit: now that my daughter is around 18months, she really enjoys this book and it’s also grown on me. I would 100% recommend it.

    My 9month old is still too young to appreciate this book. I’m not a huge fan of it either as i don’t find the story to be sweet/cute, or to have any moral to it.
