Invincible! Book

When Lars the little polar bear ventures too close to an igloo in this sixth picture-book devoted to his adventures, he finds himself being scared away by the sled-dogs outside. A little later he rescues a husky puppy named Floe, and the two set out to return him (Floe) to his family. After some initial misadventures involving a snowstorm, a kayaking trip, and Floe's irrepressible desire to steal sausages, they finally succeed, and the book closes as Lars is restored to his family, having made yet another cross-species friend...

Originally published in Switzerland as Kleiner Eisbär lass mich nicht allein! (literally: "Little Polar Bear, Don't Leave Me Alone!"), Little Polar Bear and the Husky Pup pairs a gentle, warmhearted tale with appealing artwork. Young readers and listeners will probably appreciate Floe's impulsive nature, and identify with his inability to control his impulses, while older readers will just appreciate the humorous situations created by that impulsivity. Recommended to fans of the Little Polar Bear books, and to anyone looking for picture-books about unlikely friendships.
