Knut, the Baby Polar Bear

Front Cover
From the bestselling creators of Owen & Mzee comes this board book about Knut, the adorable polar bear cub who's captured hearts around the world.
When Knut was first born, he was no bigger than a snowball. His mother was unable to care for him, so a bear keeper at Zoo Berlin, Thomas Dorflein, became Knut's foster father-sleeping next to the little cub, feeding him from bottles, and helping him learn how to play and swim.
This is the true story of a little bear who needed a family, and the extraordinary outpouring of love he received from Thomas, from the zoo, and from people all around the world. Knut's story is now available in board book format, to share with the youngest readers!
