What a sweet story and absolutely beautiful art! I love the message of selflessly helping others when they're in need, even if it's a little scary. I also thought the part about the polar station was cool.

This book is awesome. The illustrations are amazing and the story is so cute. I will definitely be buying a copy of this book for my collection.

Wow, this book’s illustrations are gorgeous, I read this with my 5 year old and we both enjoyed the overall story and message. It gave us an opportunity to discuss friendship, teamwork, and what it means to be brave.
I do think it could be edited a bit as it felt a little unnecessarily wordy in some places which doesn’t necessarily hold a child’s attention.

Thank you NetGalley and North South Books Inc. for the digital ARC!

Adorable children's book centering around friendship and teamwork. Lars makes a new friend when he saves a timid artic hair. But when Lars is in trouble the timid hate has to show how brave he can be to help his friend. Beautifully illustrated.

A sweet story! Very heartwarming with beautiful illustrations. I thank Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is a beautifully illustrated story about two friends who are trying to survive amidst the wold adventures and everyday struggles.

The artwork is so beautiful and so well done.
The storytelling is okay but I feel the presentation can be better suited for the target audience.

It reads like a short animation cartoon which I really appreciate.

Thank you, North South Books Inc, for the advance reading copy.

This is such a heartwarming and cute story! I loved the illustrations and art, and the book was so fun to read! It would be a great story for younger kids to learn about friendship and bravery.

This was such a cute book about friendship. My son didn't care much for Lars name calling but over all we really enjoyed the story. In the end it shows that you can be scared and cautious but still be brave when it really matters. I will certainly be purchasing the physical copy of this book.

I love reading about Lars the polar bear and his adventures. The illustrations are so cute and my son loves them too.

I love this! I read about Lars when I was a kid, I didn’t realize there were more books. This is such a sweet adventure for little Lars with a new friend. I know a few kids who would adore this title, and plan to recommend it.

This is a sweet book about a polar bear named Lars, who helps an Arctic hare who was trapped in a hole. On their way home they end up in a bit of trouble at a research station, but eventually find their way home and become good friends. The illustrations are so pretty!

Thanks Netgalley for providing me with this ARC.

Another beautiful tale from Hans De Beer of two unlikely friends focusing on bravery and helping others. The illustrations are stunning and compliment the story well.

This is another one of Lars the little Polar bear's adventures. In this book, he meets a new friend, Hugo, a hare, with whom he ends up exploring the area around the Polar research station.

This is a lovely book with beautiful illustrations and a fun story to go with them. I like the message the story sends. A very sweet book!

This is a sweet story about a young polar bear named Lars and a little hare named Hugo. Lars helps Hugo out of a hole, and the two develop an unlikely friendship. Hugo seems more timid than Lars, but when Lars accidentally falls into the arctic research station through a shaft, it’s Hugo that must be brave and find a way to help rescue Lars.

This is a heartwarming story about teamwork and friendship. I thought the dialogue was well written, and my 4-year-old twins enjoyed the story and illustrations.

Thank you NetGalley and North South Books for this digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Two unlikely friends learn to rely on each other.
This is a beautiful story about friendship and trust found in an unlikely place.

Being fearful vs fearless, sometimes these traits can hold you back or put you in danger. However, other times they can be valuable. The polar bear in this story tends to be more fearless in nature, it may get him in trouble but it also gave him the courage to help a stranger (bunny) in need. The bunny is cautious and a bit fearful, he avoids danger but also he has to get over his fear to save his new friend polar bear.

This was a cute story, but unfortunately for my kids it was a bit long. The illustrations are beautiful. Solid 3.5 stars, great story but may not keep littles attention.
