About the Book
Vibrant watercolor paintings illustrate this delightful story about a polar bear cub on a quest for a new identity. Chook the polar bear treks across the snow and ice of the arctic meeting a lovely Inuit snow princess and a narwhal, and has a frightening encounter with a killer whale. He eventually decides that he would rather be his polar bear self than anything else. The book is suitable for children in the primary grades or for preschoolers. It is excellent as a read-aloud story for both parents and teachers, and teachers will find it a welcome addition to the in-class library when teaching themes such as self esteem, the arctic, or bears.
