Critic Reviews
“Readers never worry that Little Polar bear won't find his way home and the lovely illustrations bring the trip to life. A nice addition to the series.”
Large sections of text are frequently broken up by beautiful, wordless pages of illustration that capture the adorable protagonist and gentle drama of his explorations...Lars' adventure abroad focuses on China's natural world and the famous Great Wall, avoiding the pitfall of cultural voyeurism.-- "Booklist"
