When Bessie decides to explore a frozen ice ship one morning, she finds a new playmate -- a baby polar bear. Snow Bear and Bessie are instant friends, but Bessie's brother and Snow Bear's mother are worried. The grown-ups wait and watch the little ones play until something happens that will break up the happy pair.With beautifully simple text and lavish wintry paintings, this gentle Arctic picture book will remind readers of the classic Blueberries for Sal and warm the hearts of readers young and old.
