Illustrated by
Alexi Natchev.
Urso Brunov, the thumb-sized "Little Father of All Bears," rescues a lost polar bear princess and her brother from wolves, then helps them return to their Arctic home. Jacques's descriptive language brings his picture book epic to life. Natchev's lushly set watercolor illustrations mesh well with the text to heighten the story's adventure.
