He finds himself traveling on the subway only to be noticed, finally by a little girl. The girl takes the homesick bear by the paw and under her innocent wing. Under the nose of her seemingly unaware mum, she feeds him dinner, gives him a bath and they read stories together.  When the polar bear wistfully looks at a poster of the North Pole on her bedroom wall, the little girl realizes that her friend needs help to get home. For Ages 3 and up.
