Just Beyond the Very Very Far North

<b>The adventures of Duane the polar bear and his arctic friends continue in this charming sequel to the modern-day classic <i>The Very Very Far North</i> which <i>Booklist</i> compared to <i>Winnie the Pooh</i> in a starred review.</b> <p/>Past the place where icebergs shiver you will find the Very Very Far North where Duane and his friends are sure to make you feel right at home. You might like to share a delicious Snow Delight with warmhearted Duane. While you're slurping away if C.C. suddenly asks you where you've come from it's not because she's nosy; she is simply gathering scientific data. If Handsome the musk ox pays a visit a quick hair combing is highly recommended. Should you notice a quiet caribou grazing nearby well that's just Boo's way of saying hello. <p/>And if a less-than-friendly visitor arrives to sneak shove and shake things up Duane and the others might discover that life isn't always as peaceful as mid-late-afternoon nap. Fortunately they know that change is as much a part of life as picnics and Tuesdays and cozy stories shared among friends.
