A lone polar bear decides that he can no longer stay in the arctic as the ice is melting around him and he is hungry. He builds a boat and sails across the oceans picking up other endangered creatures along his way; an orangutan who is surrounded only by the stumps of chopped-down trees; an elephant who is trying to out-run a poacher and a panda without a home. Finally, the boat full of creatures reaches an island that can only be described as paradise. A dodo greets them and assures them that there is enough food and shelter for them all, for eternity. The delighted animals celebrate and dance the night away with all the other island’s inhabitants including the wooly mammoth and saber-toothed tiger. A beautiful book, full of things to talk about and with a very strong environmental message.
