What a touching story this is. The plot line is intriguing and students can learn a bit about Hanukkah, too. A boy is going to America and after a crash, finds himself alone on an iceberg. A bear comes and their relationship develops. This book talks about miracles and has a great surprise ending.

I love this book! The illustrations are intriguing and the plot line is one I am sure my students can enjoy and relate to. The surprise twist at the end makes it even more appealing. (The parents fall asleep and the boy can keep doing whatever he wants.) Every child's dream!

I love books so much! My particular loves are children's books and professional books that catch my fancy. One thing that keeps me happy and sane as a teacher is being able to get tons of books from the library and share them with my students. I have tried different ways to keep track of my books, but here's another attempt. We'll se if I can make this one fly!
