The Very, Very Far North | Dan Bar-el

“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!

Our current read aloud. A gentle book for ungentle times. Perhaps when these children grow up they‘ll each have a bit of Duane in them.

So this happened while I was at work today... kids snuck into my sewing kit while they were supposed to be napping, stole scissors and cut up lots of things, including this book I had bought to read to them. Not exactly sure what my husband was doing while the kids wreaked havoc on the house?! ??? Nina was very proud to tell me about her "project"

I really need to find a more productive way of dealing with work stress than buying more books... #bookhaul #bookmail
