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

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.
