Young polar bear Claude goes to visit his aunt in the Arctic, and his parents promise him a surprise on his return. When the bear that Claude builds out of snow melts on the plane ride home, he's pleased to find that his parents' surprise is a "real, live, little snow bear." His complete delight over his new baby sister is as upbeat (and bland) as the book's simple text and colorful illustrations.
