Fun to read and filled with facts, Borealis welcomes readers to share a young cub's first adventures. From the moment he pokes through his snowy winter den and discovers the world of the Arctic, Borealis' days are filled with discovery. Travelling with his mother, he sees many sights: animals camouflaged against the northern terrain, the sudden appearance of flowers during the short northern summer, the dance of the northern lights, and the migration of beluga whales in the Arctic waters. Readers follow a journey of discovery and experience life through the eyes of a polar bear.
