Illustrated by
John Butler.
This is an appealing mix of natural history and fictive invention about a polar bear mother who gives birth to two cubs in an ice cave. She nourishes the babies in this tiny space and then takes her young family on a perilous journey in search of food. The illustrations are striking and evoke the frozen world of the far north.
