Nanuk Flies Home

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Astrid Vohwinkel. Bear Nanuk and his mother wander into town looking for food. They get caught foraging in a grocery store and are swiftly imprisoned in "Polar Bear Jail" before being sent home in a "Polar Bear Taxi." Though its combination of realism and fantasy is awkward (e.g., seat-belt-wearing Nanuk gazing out of the helicopter window), the text and illustrations are child-friendly and accessible.
