Little Polar Bear and the Brave Little Hare

Friendship makes us brave! This delightful story—part of Hans de Beer’s beloved Little Polar Bear series—is now back in hardcover.

On a quiet day in the arctic, Lars, the Little Polar Bear, hears a cry coming from a deep hole in the ice. It’s Hugo, a scared little hare, who is trapped and needs to be rescued. The two become fast friends with Lars teasing Hugo for being timid, and Hugo wishing Lars was just a little more careful! But when Lars lands himself in trouble, Hugo has to show just how brave he can be in an emergency.
