Snowball: Adventures of a Suburban Polar Bear (Volume 1)

A stuffed polar bear from Manitoba, Canada, makes his way into the life of a boy in Michigan, USA. Follow him on his first journey out of the gift shop he has always lived in, as his lifelong dream of being a special bear finally seems possible. This book lets the reader get to know how the bear thinks and feels, experiencing the highs and lows of having something he has always wanted in his grasp, and then watching it slip away, and of unexpected validation when he least expects it. Written using sometimes challenging vocabulary for bright early readers, this is a wonderful book to read to a child of any age, or for your young reader to read alone. Book 1 introduces you to the bear and the boy, and sets the stage for future adventures.
