Polar Bear Night, story by Lauren Thompson and pictures by Stephen Savage
---
"The night is keen and cold."
These simple and crisp words begin the magical story of a polar bear cub that wanders out of her den and across the ice and snow of a nighttime arctic landscape.
The language throughout is simple and direct. The illustrations are also simple and direct, geometric and reminiscent of cut paper artwork.

The story is brief yet powerful. It resonates with young children. They can identify with the young cub as she explores her environment, with the safety of home within easy reach.
This book was a favorite of The Child during nightly story times as a toddler. We still read it every few months and enjoy its vocabulary and artwork. The child in your life will too.
