Emma finds a note sticking out of a carousel polar bear's saddle requesting that she bring balloons. She complies, tying the balloons to the saddle, which leads to a trip to the snow-dappled Arctic for a "polar bear rumpus." It's a drama- and conflict-free adventure providing a showcase for Ward's frolicsome cut-paper, watercolor, and pencil art.
