We really loved the illustrations in the book and these just add to the wonderful wintry atmosphere. Nothing is as it seems as Sara embarks on a journey to find her way home, with polar bear cub in tow. She looks out of the window to find that the garden has completely transformed into an icy landscape, the igloo has gone and her snow polar bear has come to life! Setting such an atmospheric story out, it's the tale of a young girl called Sara who builds an igloo and a snowy little polar bear in her garden with her grandad as the first christmas snows fall.Īs darkness falls, Sara settles down to sleep but is woken in the middle of the night. "The Snow Bear" is a chapter book and it usually takes us a little longer to work through these but it was worth it. At the moment we're surrounded by water, and the skies are grey and horrible but Holly Webb's "The Snow Bear" cuts through all that, instantly putting us in the mood for snuggling up in front of a log fire, mulled wine (or in Charlotte's case, hot chocolate with marshmallows) in hand, with a really good book. It's difficult to imagine how beautiful our locale looks when covered with a thick blanket of snow.
