    Baby Bear is curious. He goes where Mama said, 'Don't!'  and finds himself adrift in a BIG, BIG ocean! Will Mama find him before his piece of pack ice melts?
    A story for early childhood and lower primary with themes of risk taking, keeping safe, obeying rules, becoming lost and being found. The book also introduces small children to the idea of protecting our environment, animal habitats, melting of the pack ice and global warming.

    REVIEWS:
    "A polar bear cub balances on an ice shelf to watch orcas chasing seals. But the shelf breaks, leaving him just a little bit of ice to sit on, in the immensity of the ocean. He has lost his mother, his friends and his sibling, too - he is all alone.

    "Fluffy, mischievous polar bears and the danger from orcas. J.R. Poulter has written a delightful picture book for younger audiences that not only entertains, but contains some factual information about the animals to be found in the North Pole." - Bianca Thorburn, Teacher-Librarian, Experienced Senior Teacher, M. Ed.TL.
