Islands are often depicted as solitary places, where isolation is the only way of life. This stereotype is refuted by this charming book, in which a diverse group of animals from land, sea, and sky unite in sweet and surprising ways on various islands visited by a polar bear on a quest for companionship.
In 2013, this book was on USBBY's Outstanding International Books list and was part of the Silent Books from the World to Lampedusa project.
The Island [originally published as Het Eiland] by Marije Tolman & Ronald Tolman. The Netherlands: Lemniscaat, 2012. [9781935954194]
