Beautifully written and illustrated it will inspire the young reader to learn about relationships between humans and wildlife.

The story continues with him being rescued by the Orangutan Rescue Centre and later being released back to another part of the Rainforest. The ‘Did You Know’ and ‘How Can You Help Page’ at the end of the Story are both excellent educational additions to the story.

He is taken back to hard ice. A moving story that educates children both about the life of a polar bear but also, due to climate change, the ever decreasing habitat they live in.
