Assigned a presentation on polar bears, Sophie distractedly scrawls that they are big and mean and eat things. Olafur the polar bear magically appears in her home and brings her on a guided trip of the Arctic to teach her more. Fully saturated double-page spreads bring the chilly landscape to wondrous life, while the text is a cohesive mix of story and fact.
