1. Polar by Elaine Moss, Pictures by Jeannie Baker, Greenwillow Books, 1990

Jeannie Baker's artwork, which she calls relief collage, illustrates the story of Polar. This story is about a stuffed polar bear who wishes he could live where it was cold. After seeing a white scarf draped over the dresser, he decides it is a hillside covered in snow. Polar then makes a sled out of a box and some books. He has fun sledding until he decides to stand up in the sled. Then Polar gets knocked out cold and lands in the hospital.

I like the illustration of Pam-Pam and Jack using an encyclopedia as a stretcher for Polar. The clothes on the penguins and seals are fun, love those plaid pants. I also like her creation of Polar the bear.  Detractions in the book are the eyes on the other characters, especially Tiger who doesn't have pupils. This book reminds me a little bit of Mr. Bill or Gumby.
