A cub asks, "Am I a polar bear?" And so begins his mother's descriptions of the habitat, physical characteristics, and attributes that make him one (Arctic home, large padded feet, keen sense of smell, respectively). Spare text offers a reassuring back-and-forth dialogue between parent and child. Lovely cool-blue and white illustrations depict the bears' curved white forms.
