Wonderful color illustrations of Polar Bears by Barbara Stone. CONTENT: In the Company of Bears; where you're always treated special and you never have to pretend because you are only seen and loved for just who you are." ?In this whimsical tale, wise and wonderful polar bears have discovered the secret of time, seeing all things exactly and precisely as they are: "To a BEAR, a kettle's a kettle. To a BEAR, a pot is a pot. Bears never call anything something that anything is not." The bears remind us of the beauty of simplicity and unhurriedness, and warn us that to reach any place worthwhile: 'You can't go by clock or by mile, you have to go by heart. And the path of the heart is the hardest to take for the heart will not fool and the heart will not fake." A. B. Curtiss is a child psychologist.
