Target audience: Children aged 4 and up. Lars, the little polar bear, is drifting alone on an ice floe in the middle of the sea. When the ice floe melts, he barely manages to escape onto a barrel. An adventurous journey begins, leading him eventually to Africa. While it's exciting there, it's far too hot. Lars misses his cold, white home and is lucky: a hippopotamus and a whale - his new friends - help him find his way back home. The book also comes with an MP3 audiobook that can be downloaded at no additional cost.
