A Polar Bear in Love, Vol. 1 by Koromo

3.0

Super cute, quick read. the illustrations are absolutely adorable, and the story has a certain charm to it. At first I was thrown off by the bear's insistance on being friends with the seal because the seal isn't having it at first, but I think the seal starts to warm up to the bear towards the end, so the story ultimately won me over. I love the kinda-but-not-really subtle representation of the P that falls under the (+) of the alphabet soup community. One could also make the argument that there's representation for the A in the community, since the bear doesn't seem to really want to mate with the seal, as much as he wants to protect them.

If you want to see cute illustrations of a bear and seal chilling with each other, than this is worth a try.
