[Natilla · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a lovely story. the author with his narrative can transport the reader to the scene of the story. The illustrations are the best only looking at the pictures you feel you are in winter near the North Pole.

two sisters and one brother Alice, Jess and Robin head out to play in the snow and meet the Ice Bear.
