Little Polar Bear befriends a pod of beluga whales and Moby, a giant sperm whale. When the whales are threatened by a whaling ship, Lars (the Little Polar Bear) finds a small bay for them to hide--but when spring makes the ice melt, floating ice chunks trap the whales! It's up to Lars to think of an ingenious solution to save his friends and win the day in this charming Arctic story.

It is an unusually warm spring and the snow is melting faster than usual. Scientists have come to the North Pole to study the changes. When Lars discovers the submarine, he also discovers two baby polar bears that the scientists have rescued from an ice floe. Lars promises to take the cubs back to their parents. But can he do it?

It's a big day for the little polar bear Lars! His father takes him hunting for the very first time, and that night he is so tired from all his lessons that he falls fast asleep. He sleeps so soundly that he doesn't hear the ice crack, doesn't feel himself slowly drift away from his father and the arctic -- he doesn't realize that his adventures have just begun. A great way to introduce a second language to very young children whether they are English...
