It took me forever to finish this book because I kept putting it down to read something else. It feels like a classic story along the lines of Winnie the Pooh with cute characters who go on adventures. It made me wonder who the intended audience for this book was meant to be. The illustration style and the choice of animal characters skews younger, but the incredibly challenging language and the story's realistic portrayal of the dangers and hardships that come with Arctic explorations make it a better fit for older students. Will not be adding to my library at this time.
