Lars, the young Polar Bear, awakens to a warm morning in the North Pole. Taking the opportunity to further explore the land near his home, he stumbles upon a Cormorant and a group of Whales who are in trouble. Highlighting not only the importance of teamwork and friendship, but also a moral metaphor for the effect humanity is having on the environment, 'Little Polar Bear and the Whales' is an enjoyable trip to the North Pole. AUTHOR: Hans de Beer was born in Muiden, a small town near Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. He studied illustration at the Rietveld Academy of Art in Amsterdam.
