The Polar Bear Need Not Despair: A Canadian Bestiary

A winsome and witty sequence of poems, The Polar Bear Need Not Despair pays tribute to some of the many wonderful animals that populate the forests, lakes, rivers, cities and skies of the Canadian landscape. From the titular polar bear to Newfoundland's puffin, from the water- loving otter to the airborne osprey, from the tundra-dwelling musk-ox to the solitary moose, from the walrus to the narwhal, each of the sixteen poems celebrates with affection and humour the mystery, wonder and variety of the creatures with whom we share our land. Charmingly illustrated and engagingly designed, The Polar Bear Need Not Despair will amuse and entertain both children and the adults who read to them.
