Book Reviews of Polar Bear Night (New York Times Best Illustrated Books (Awards))
Book Review: Please don't hate me for this....
Summary: 3 Stars
Please don't hate me for this, I swear I'm really not a bad person who secretly hates fuzzy little bears and loving bear mommas. It's just that this book left me kind of cold, and it's not the effect of the snow. The story is nice, some of the phrases are downright lyrical. However, the total look of Polar Bear Night (New York Times Best Illustrated Books) is not enthralling to its intended audience looking for a sweet, pleasant, pretty book to lull them off to dreamland.
There was little to no interest paid by the child who saw this book, and this is a child who loves every book she sees, sometimes carrying them around the house all day.
I'm sorry, but.... ehhhh. This purchase, based on other great reviews, was a mistake. Live and learn.
