Illustrated by
Maggie Kneen.
A polar bear cub can't find his mother, so his forest friends help him make a snow bear to keep him company. When night falls, they leave and he's alone again--until his mother finds him the next morning. The gracefully embossed illustrations have more depth than the lackluster story, which is weighed down by uninspired repetition.
