Even pint-sized polar bears are enough to frighten the local canines! Near sighted penguins... ... and skate-skiing polar bears... ... who are willing pose for pictures! TOO. MUCH. FUN! I hosted a couple of StorySki readings for MVSTA's 1st Annual Backyard Ski Day last weekend. Three or four of the Polar Opposites signs were buried by our recent 20+ inches of snow, but I happened to have an easily readable copy of the book on hand... and the most patient and helpful skate-skiing polar bear assistant in the valley!
