Synopsis: While hunting with his father, a young polar bear drifts out to sea and ends up in a jungle where a friendly hippopotamus helps him return home.

Craft ideas:

• Write a letter from Lars to his Dad describing what he was doing while he was gone, and illustrate it.
• What's another way Lars could have gotten home? Draw a picture, or make a small book with a different route.
