This photographic journey beautifully captures the remarkable development of the cub, who initially drinks from a baby bottle, sucks his paw for comfort, and sleeps with a -blankie- as he rapidly grows into the largest land carnivore on earth.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Gomes's scattered photographs create both an album like effect and a sort of visual narrative as Kali plays, explores, and naps. Though Kali's permanent home ends up being at the Buffalo Zoo, rather than in the wild, readers should enjoy seeing a grown-up Kali find a companion in another polar bear named Luna. - Publishers Weekly<br><br>The captivating photographs fill the pages. It is through additional information at the back of the book that readers learn general facts about polar bears. - Library Media Connection<br><br>Very young readers or those just listening will find Kali's story, 25 pages of pictures and commentary, a captivating journey to be enjoyed over and over again. Color photographs go hand-in-glove with the clearly written prose, making early readers feel part of Kali's rescue. - Science Books & Films<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>John Gomes' passion for photography is evident through his nature and Alaskan-focused images. A self-taught photographer going back to the -manual- camera days, John's photos capture Alaskan life including mushing (sled-dog racing) and rodeos.
