When a drop of water falls on her head, Loony Little the loon thinks the polar ice cap is melting and rushes off to tell the Polar Bear Queen. Along the way, she meets other arctic animals, including a puffin, a seal, and a fox. Bold acrylic and watercolor paintings add personality to the animals in this enjoyable revision (refutation, really) of Chicken Little's "the sky is falling" folktale. Information about global warming and the animals is included.
