Illustrated by
Gerry Turley.
A polar bear is "looking for something, but what has she lost?" A long trek through the snowy night reunites her with her lost cub, more precious than the many natural "treasures and fabulous sights" she sees along the way. Propulsive, textured mixed-media illustrations convey the mother bear's urgency and the frigid Arctic setting much more successfully than the trite rhyming text.
