"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 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
