Adorable

Such a cute, sweet story and lovely pictures. A nice message, too. You will really enjoy this children's book.

Cute story.... Loved it.

This is a lovely story about friendship. The pictures and story are very cute. My baby is 9months old and seems to enjoy the book.

An Extraordinary Book!

As a middle school English teacher, I am excited about Mr. Baek's second book, "Panda and Polar Bear." It's difficult to find a book which impacts me after reading it. His new book has done just that. "Panda and Polar Bear" reflects an important immigration issue, identity. Through his warm, soft drawings and colors, young children, even teenagers can observe and identify their true identities as Americans with different heritages. I strongly recommend this book to all classroom teachers and students. I am also looking forward his third book. I heard that it's going to be a chicken story. His first book, "Be Gentle with the Dog, Dear!" was also a heartfelt story based on his personal experience with his first daughter. I loved it.

Wonderful Children's Book - My child's favorite book

Be Gentle With the Dog Dear - Also a great book. This book has become my daughter's (3yr) new favorite, the imagery is outstanding and the story perfect for children entering new environments with new children. It teaches them to appreciate themselves and others.

Wonderful!

Spread after spread, this book is filled with beautiful colors and visual humor. It's a great story about two unique bears embracing differences, while discovering new friendship and adventure all along the way.
