The Very, Very Far North

An inquisitive polar bear named Duane befriends an array of animals as he discovers where he belongs in this charming classic-in-the making.

"In the Very, Very Far North, past the Cold, Cold Ocean and just below the hill that looks like a baby whale, you'll find Duane and his friends.

Duane is a sweet and curious young bear who makes friends with everyone he meets--whether they're bossy, like Major Puff the puffin, or a bit vain, like Handsome the musk ox, or very, very shy, like Boo the caribou. For these arctic friends, every day is a new adventure!"

"Wonderfully follows in the tradition of A. A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh stories... Endearing... Will win over young readers in a heartbeat." --Booklist (starred review)

"Quirky and imaginative--postmodern storytelling at its best." --Kirkus Reviews
