Customer Reviews

Stunning photos that leave me breathless and serene...

What can really be said about a book that makes me happy when I am sad? Ice Cradle is one of those rare books that contains within its pages some of the most beautiful sights imaginable. Even if one doesn't have a particular liking for harp seals, I think the book is still appealing. There's just something so spectacular about the innocent and pure beauty of the baby harp seal. This book features 63 pages worth of stunning baby harp seal photos. There is very minimal text among the photographs, but a few pages at the back of the book are dedicated to a short but satisfying introduction to the life and times of baby harp seals. I continuously turn to this book when I am feeling down. There is something so comforting about sweet harp seals smiling back at you. If you enjoy photography, if you like animals, if you want something beautiful and comforting to look at, obtain a copy of this book. It's worth every penny and more.

Best pictures you'll find

If you love harp seals, you'll love every page of this book. Not a lot of text, but it's full of great pictures.

The most adorable critters on earth?

The pictures in this book are utterly wonderful. If you like cute and cuddly, this one's for you. Harp Seal pups are, I think, one of nature's wonders (how could anyone club one over the head?) The book is great and is almost wholly a picture book. If there had been more text, it would have rated 5 stars. Totally scrumptious
