An inquisitive polar bear named Duane befriends an array of animals as he discovers where he belongs in this charming classic-in-the making that’s reminiscent of Winnie the Pooh.
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!
At his request, my son and I read this book three times back-to-back. It's such a sweet story, I love it almost as much as he did.
Why Mom loves this book:
- It's filled with both heart-warming and funny moments.
- The characters all have their little quirks, and the story teaches a lot about accepting others for who they are.
- The character Magic inspired a conversation about the difference between "mean" and "thoughtless."
- I think my son could identify with a couple of the characters and could also see some of his friends in the others.
Why my son loves this book:
- It's the best story.
- There are lots of characters, and they're very funny.
- The puffin likes to march. It's unexpected, and it's just funny!
We were so excited to read that there will be a follow up to the Very Very Far North in October 2020!
