Polar bears are really cute. There was a time that I dreamed of being a polar bear and live in the North Pole so it wasn’t a surprise that at some point in the story of My Pa, The Polar Bear, I felt envious of Fuzz. Well, Fuzz is actually a human boy who has to dress up like a polar bear due to his family’s zoo business.

Fuzz hated masquerading as a Polar Bear so you can imagine the fun when he grudgingly went to the North Pole to accompany his grandfather who is obsessed with polar bears. Everything in the story just snowballed after that with Fuzz finally realizing the value of Polar bears not only to humans but also to biodiversity and the environment in general.
