What did you like about the book? Polar Bear and Bear Cub explore the Arctic in this book with beautiful pictures showing the changing seasons. And although the seasons change, the love the mother polar bear has for her cub will never change. The message of “I’ll love you forever” comes out loud and clear. The book is written in gentle verse with four lines of text on each page. The rhymes flow smoothly and work very well with the peaceful illustrations of the changing seasons of the Arctic. As each season changes, the mother cub affirms that she will love her cub forever.
