Finding Bear: An irresistible animal adventure – the unmissable follow-up to the award-winning THE LAST BEAR

Product Information

So begins an amazing story of discovery and survival as she battles the elements in the forbidding Arctic environment. Beautifully illustrated by Levi Pinfold, Finding Bear is a stunning story of survival, a heartwarming tale of love and shows us how hope is born from the smallest of beginnings. Full of action and danger, this book had me tense and hopeful that everything was going to turn out all right. Jurgen is stunned by their story and arranges for them to be taken to the area they suspect Bear to be.

For some reason I don’t question a young girl being friends with a polar bear, but I do question her dad allowing her to go to the artic, and being there the following day lol!I also loved how the book is making its readers aware of climate change and the effects that is has on our world and it’s wildlife. After reading Impossible Creatures I was in the mood for a children's book, and the cold weather inspired me to pick up the follow up to Hannah's beautiful debut 'The Last Bear'. Some of my earliest memories are visits to the library with my mum and then scampering back home to lose myself in the pages of a book.

Beautifully illustrated by Levi Pinfold, Finding Bear is a stunning story of survival, a heartwarming tale of love, and shows us how hope is born from the smallest of beginnings. Descriptions in this fast paced plot are simply wonderful, conveying the Arctic temperature and inhospitable, threatening environment with razor sharp accuracy so that any reader can experience the cold and dark alongside April.They tell her they want to see the Northern Lights; Jurgen suggests telling her they're looking for a polar bear isn't a good idea! There are difficult moments here presented with compassion and sensitivity but I won’t spoil the story by saying more except that this reader who is around half a century older than the target audience was reduced to a sobbing wreck in more than one occasion. It is one of the most gorgeous, moving, beautiful, breathtaking, perfect stories, ideal for readers aged 9 to 90.
