4,5 Sterne
Mein erstes „Kleiner Eisbär“ – Buch. Natürlich kenne ich Lars, den kleinen Eisbären, aber tatsächlich hatte ich selbst noch kein Buch aus dieser bekannten Reihe gelesen. Bis jetzt.
💗😍💗😍
Mir hat die Geschichte sehr gut gefallen. Lars gerät in eine Falle und wird gefangen genommen. Auf einem Schiff soll er mit vielen anderen Tieren weggebracht werden. Es gelingt Lars, sich und die anderen Tiere zu befreien. Gemeinsam mit einem liebenswerten Walross und mit Lea, einem kleinen Braunbärenmädchen, gelingt die Flucht und die drei machen sich auf den Weg nach Hause.
Sehr liebevoll erzählt und eine schöne Geschichte auch zum Vorlesen.

Wandering near his home one day, Lars the little polar bear is captured by hunters looking to find animals for the zoo. With the help of a friendly Walrus and a little brown bear named Bea, he escapes from captivity, setting out (once again) to get home. Bea, separated from her parents, comes along with him, but will Lars' parents accept a brown bear into the family...?

Originally published in Switzerland as Kleiner Eisbär, nimm mich mit! (literally: "Little Polar Bear, Take Me With You"), Little Polar Bear Finds a Friend is the third in author/artist Hans de Beer's extensive picture-book series devoted to Lars' adventures. Like its predecessors, it pairs a sweet, heartwarming tale with appealing illustrations. Also like its predecessors, it features a tale in which Lars finds himself unwilling borne away from home, and struggling to return. This little polar bear can't seem to stay in the arctic, no matter how hard he tries! Recommended to fans of the previous books, and to anyone looking for picture-books about (fictional) polar bears.

Bär ist Bär!

First of all, humans suck big time. Next, it's great that bears don't discriminate amongst bears. I enjoyed this story of Lars the polar bear cub getting caught in a trap and was about to be trafficked along with some other wild animals but ultimately managed to free himself and everyone else. I just have to wonder how long Lea the brown bear could last in the North Pole before it gets way too cold for her. I mean there's a reason why brown bears hibernate during winter…

Cute story with a happy (but scientifically questionable) ending.

Hach, Kindheitserinnerungen 😍

I've really enjoyed the Lars series. He has had some amazing (and scary) adventures. This is another beautiful book. Bears are bears. And I'm glad they didn't leave walrus behind.

This book touches on the act of trapping. The main story is about a couple young bears trying to get home, with the help of a walrus. This story has a cute, happy ending. This may be interesting to use when talking about race and how skin or hair color does not matter.

Lars the little polar bear is very lonely and wants a friend to play with. His mother is sure he will find one soon. The next day, Lars goes walking around and finds what he thinks is a polar bear but is really a trap. He finds out that many animals have been trapped and they are being taken to a zoo. He meets a walrus and they figure out how to escape and release the other animals. Lars meets Bea, a small brown bear. Bea has been separated from her parents who were taken away earlier, so she has nowhere to return to. Lars offers for her to stay with his family, even though she is worried they won't accept her for her brown fur. Lars assures Bea it will be okay, because "bears are bears." The walrus helps get Bea and Lars back to Lars' family, who accept Bea and allow her to stay. Bea has a home and Lars finally has a friend.
I gave this book 4 stars. I love that it discusses the topic of race and acceptance without being blatant, so it allows children to draw conclusions and establish morals through a story. The illustrations are cute and have a lot of detail which would draw the attention of children. The use of dialogue would make this a fun read-aloud book for a class or a small group.

I had this book as a kid and always loved Lars the Polar Bear, so when I saw it at a thrift shop I grabbed it to share with my kids. Whoops. It definitely doesn’t read the same in 2021 as it did back in 1999. Lars meets a brown bear after escaping capture (and being destined for the zoo). The two become friends and a Walrus helps them travel back to the Arctic, which all sounds cute enough. But then there’s the added theme of the brown bear worrying that she won’t be like because she’s brown and not white. This is obviously disturbing and a disappointing storyline that inserts the idea that white could be better than brown into cutesy animals. Thankfully Lars’ family is kind and accepting, but this certainly felt a bit ick.

[Peyton Poler · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great book with a lot of really important messages. Lars gets captured by humans who want to take him to the zoo, but he makes friends, and they help each other escape. Lars waits to help a walrus, who helps him by taking him back to his parents. Lars takes a brown bear Bea whose parents were captured home with him. She is worried she won't be accepted because she is brown, but that's silly, because bears are bears. This book has a great message of never leaving a friend behind and acceptance of someone who doesn't look exactly like you.

Das Kinderbuch greift das Thema auf, wenn Wildtiere gefangen genommen werden. Lars und seine Freunde können entkommen und gemeinsam mit Walross und Braunbär findet er zum Nordpol und seinen Eltern zurück.

Lars wanted a friend, but one day he got trapped and taken away from the Arctic. When the box he was in broke open, he discovered many other trapped animals, so he decided to help them all escape. Nice story.

Gaat hier en daar nogal van de hak op de tak en eindigt zomaar ineens. Minder dat de anderen uit de serie, wat dat betreft.. Met een beetje meer zorg zou het gemakkelijk zijn voorkomen, maar het idee is wel leuk.

Little Lars wants a friend, but it is only when in a terrible dilemma, that he finds friendship and holds true to his loyalty. A beautiful tale.

Little Polar Bear Finds a Friend is a cute story of a young polar bear who is captured to go to a zoo. While on his way to the zoo he breaks out and frees all of the other animals as well. They all return to their homes, but the polar bear brings another bear who lost his parents home with him. I enjoyed this book because it showed the realistic pieces of nature with humans capturing animals, but also displayed a hopeful ending of the family being bad together for the most part.

Little Polar Bear Finds a Friend is an animal fiction book about a lonely little polar bear named Lars looking for a friend. While looking for a friend the little polar bear becomes trapped and sent off to a zoo. During the journey there he escapes from his box and meets a friendly walrus. The two of them free all the other animals. After everyone escapes, Lars and the walrus meet Bea, and it ends up just being them three. After learning Bea has been separated from her parents, Lars offers to let Bea live with him. At first she was worried that his parents wouldn't like that she was brown, but Lars assured her that bears are bears no matter what color they are. Together they think of a way to get home and finally they make it back to the Artic where Bea is happily welcomed into Lars' family.

How One Little Polar Bear Captivated the World by Craig Hatkoff, Juliana Hatkoff, Isabella Hatkoff and Dr. Gerald R. Uhlichis a wonderful Picture Book about the life of Knut.

Knut’s mum was a rescued East German circus bear and when Knut was born he was around the size of a snowball. After his mother’s rejection, Knut would have most definitely died were it not for great veterinary care and then the zookeeper, Thomas Dorflein, who did some round the clock surrogate parenting for many months. Thomas fed him with a bottle like a human baby and taught him essentials like swimming. Kids and adults will fall in love with this adorable bear through the photo illustrations and simple, true story. I believe kids, especially animal lovers; from 5-11 will love this story.

This story starts in the Artic with a lonely little polar bear. He goes in search of a friend but finds himself trapped in a crate and on his way to the city. He gets to be friends with a walrus and they unlatch all the crates and help everyone escape. Along they find a baby brown bear and the three become fast friends. The Walrus helps them all get home to the Artic through the ocean with the bears on his back. A wonderfully written 'friendship' story.

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book could be read around the winter or if you are teaching a lesson about animals in a certain subject. The little bear in the story is taken from his family and needs to a find a way home. He along with the friends he makes along the way eventually make it back safe and sound to their homes.

I think this is the best one of the series. My son especially smiled when the brown bear slips on the ice.
