This is a very special book with pop-ups. Follow the footprints of this adventurous polar bear as he sets off from his snow cave to explore the dramatic white world around him. Elegant paper sculptures create the Arctic landscape of snowdrifts, ice floes, and igloos, our intrepid hero encounters as he makes his way towards the ultimate explorer's goal - the North Pole!
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
An austere white landscape dramatically frames icy footprints, a blue foil moon and frosty water in If I Were a Polar Bear by Rives. Later, a delicately woven igloo emerges from the earth and, on the final spread, the wintry white bear proudly approaches the North Pole. A die-cut slipcase lets the paw print shine through.

Brilliantly constructed with solid storytelling. A must have for everyone's library. It's more than a book, it's a gift of the senses.

Perennial Favorite,

This review is from: If I were a Polar Bear (Hardcover)
This is a night after night favorite at our house. Short enough to read even in the most cramped of bedtimes, but a sweet and relaxing book. The imagery is beautiful- and the poem soft and calming to read. My daughter knows it almost by heart- and in fact, it is so well loved, we will probably have to get a second book! Highly recommend, we like it better than goodnight moon.
