Lars the little polar bear returns in this second picture-book adventure, this time finding himself caught in a fishing net and hauled aboard ship. Aided by ship's cat Nemo, Lars accepts his fate, waiting to get to port, where Nemo's feline friends can help him. Once they make land, Lars is disgusted by the dirt of a human city, and overjoyed to be taken aboard another ship, this time arctic-bound. For this little polar bear, there's no place like home...

Originally published in Switzerland as Kleiner Eisbär, komm bald wieder! (literally: "Little Polar Bear, come back soon!"), this second of Lars' many adventures parallels the first (Little Polar Bear), in that our ursine hero once again finds himself inadvertently traveling far from home, and struggling to find a way back. The story here is engaging, and the artwork appealing. As a cat lover, I appreciated the fact that this time around it is a group of felines who aid Lars. Recommended to anyone who has read and enjoyed the first book about this little polar bear's adventures. ( )

I enjoyed this book. It kind of had an environmental undercurrent because the polar bear is so disgusted by the filth of humans and because he is accidentally captured by humans in a fishing net, but it is mostly a story of kindness between a cat and a polar bear. It's like and enjoyable. I would read it again. I have a feeling that kids would enjoy it too. ( )

This is a very cute story about a little polar bear who goes on an adventure. It is a great way for children to use their imaginations and imagine themselves going on an adventure.
