Wonderful Story!

"Knut" tells the story of a little polar bear cub, abandoned by his mother, and then raised by a human surrogate. The pictures grab attention - from the librarian who checked it out, to the rest of my family. Knut is a great ambassador for polar bears and their fate. Other sources tell how he reached 243 lbs. by his first birthday and had to be put on a diet, and now the Berlin Zoo is now looking for a new home for Knut.

Cutest Book I Have Ever Read!

This book is the cutest book I have ever seen!! I stood in front of the bookshelf and read it in the bookstore. The pictures are very nicely taken and absolutely adorable. I was gushing over every other page; this polar bear is cute! The story is heartwarming and a good read. I'd buy it just for the pictures (and I will be buying it soon!) Honestly, if you are having a bad day, just read or flip through this book; I guarantee a smile will pop up soon.

Knut's A Little Miracle!

This book has been a big hit with the children in our family. My niece's granddaughter took it to preschool to share it with her classmates and my nephew-in-law's son took it to bed with him as well as to preschool to share the wonder and magic of precious Knut with his classmates! It is a beautiful, wholesome true story that the whole family can enjoy.
