Translated by Rosemary Lanning.
When Lars, a polar bear cub, finds a lost husky puppy all alone at the North Pole, he offers to help him find his way back to his mother and his people, even though Lars's father has warned him to stay away from humans. The story is pleasant and cheerful but lacks a sense of energy. The watercolor illustrations in snowy shades of blue show likable animals.
