(3) K-3 A polar bear climbs down from what looks like an electricity-emitting cloud and journeys around a people-free world on foot and by sea (both swimming and on a rhinoceros's back), finally stopping to watch the night sky with a violin-playing raccoon. Like its similarly wordless, large-scale predecessor, The Tree House, this book is a dreamy, animal-filled visual fantasia inviting wonderment.
