It's a combination of arctic animals and simple math! The animals include a bear, walrus, foxes, sea lions, penguins, and sardines. Counting goes up to the number six. (Author and illustrators are from France.)

I'm having trouble believing that 6 sardines are as tall as a polar bear, but that's just me.

A fun counting book where the other animals try to tell bear he's not as big as he thinks he is

Includes great illustrations and a little bit of math. Fun, but not outstanding.

The large polar bear feels that he may be a very large bear. However, when he encounters some of his friends, they show him that he is not all that large. As the reader is forced to add (one + one +... etc), they see that the bear is not as tall or powerful as he may feel. By the end, the tables are turned and all is revealed. Neo laughed at the antics in this book and I can only hope he enjoyed the entertainment of having someone read to him. Enjoy this, young sir, for soon you will be reading solely to me (though not the stuff I tend to favour).
