(4) K-3 Karl "talks too much" (according to Hazel) and Hazel "is mean" and doesn't talk enough (according to Karl). When the unlikely polar bear duo ends up adrift on a melting ice floe together, they have no choice but to get closer and they eventually become friends. Bright, full-bleed illustrations enliven the spare, predictable text. Information about preserving the Arctic is appended. Websites.
