User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great illustrations!!
An adult might find the storylines a bit repetitive but my 3 year old loves all of the Lars books. We got her some at xmas and she was so pleased that we bought all the others for her birthday 5 months later and she wants them read to her over and over. She even ‘reads’ them to her younger brother!
4 Stars Darling book
My boys love this book ~~ they both grin everytime I show them a page. Right now, my husband and I are on a polar bear kick since the boys both showed an interest in the polar bear at the local zoo.
Lars, a little polar bear, wants nothing more than to have a friend. He soon learns he has to be careful of what he wishes for! He gets kidnapped to be taken to a zoo and along the way, he meets a Walrus and Bea, a little brown bear. They escape to go home and Bea comes home with Lars.
It’s a lovely little story with great detailed pictures. It’s great to keep the kids’ interest while reading ~~ and someday when my boys are older, it’ll be a great book for them to learn how to read.
It’s a cute addition for any library!

5 Stars Wonderful Story
I buy this for all of my friends little ones – it tells a great story of accepting differences.
5 Stars Great book even for two year olds!
I loved reading this book with my son. I found this book in our library after reading a list at www.bloggermoms.com, and he took to it right away. It gently introduces the concept of how animals are caught to bring them to the zoo, and makes the children sympathize with their plight. Also has some new words such as ‘lumbered’ ‘arctic circle’ etc for two year olds.
5 Stars Great Book
My nephews love all the little polar bear series by Hans de Beer, and so do I. Great illustrations, he meets animals that he makes friends with, and a nice ending. I’d can recommend them all.
