(2) 4-6 Translated by Laura Watkinson. Illustrated by Philip Hopman. In 1941, Polish soldiers escaped to Iran where they joined the British army--and adopted a bear cub who became a functioning member of their group. Tak makes a fascinating tale of the wartime progress of the clever animal. First published in Holland in 2008, this fictionalized account of one of World War II's happier oddities includes appealing drawings and clear historical maps.
