BLURB:
One Polar Bear is a delightful rhyming book filled
with lovable animals from the Canadian Arctic. Polar Bear is home sick and
alone. His many animal friends drop by to cheer him up. This counting story
celebrates individuals with a variety of abilities and disabilities, and the
text helps teach the numbers one to ten. Canada is a country made up of many
peoples and cultures. This book reflects this diversity by featuring the word
"welcome" in different languages amongst its pages. One Polar Bear is
a wonderful bedtime story and a beautiful way to educate and celebrate the
differences in our world.
If
you can be anything, be inclusive.

The story was a clever rhyme of numbers, like “The 12 Days of Christmas.” The illustrations were simple and cute. I enjoyed the fun rhymes.
A nice, little read and a good way
to learn numbers.
