If I Had a Polar Bear

Gabby Dawnay, Alex Barrow

A boldly illustrated bedtime story that imagines what it would be like to have a snuggly and super-strong polar bear for a pet.

If I Had a Polar Bear imagines what it would be like to have a polar bear as a pet. It might be an unconventional choice, but it would be sure to give the best bear hugs . . .

Polar bears are cuddly but they’re also very strong. As marine mammals, they can swim for days at a time—that’s serious perseverance! So, if Santa ever needed help delivering his presents, guess who he would call? Join our funny female protagonist as she wonders, “What would life be like . . . if I had a polar bear?”
