Free How One Little Polar Bear Captivated The World (Knut) Ebooks Online
When Knut was born, the first polar bear cub at the Berlin Zoo in more than thirty years, he was no bigger than a snowball and unable to care for himself. His mother, a rescued East German circus bear, didn't know how to take care of Knut and rejected him. Knut would have died if it weren't for Thomas Dorflein, a zookeeper who nurtured Knut, feeding him, sleeping with him, and giving him the love and attention Knut needed to thrive. But Thomas wasn't the only one who adopted Knut. The adorable little polar bear captured the world's attention, and now Knut is loved around the globe.

This book is the cutest book I have ever seen!! I stood in front of the bookshelf and read it in the bookstore. The pictures are very nicely taken and absolutely adorable. I was gushing over every other page; this polar bear is cute! The story is heartwarming and a good read. I'd buy it just for the pictures (and I will be buying it soon!) Honestly, if you are having a bad day, just read or flip through this book; I guarantee a smile will pop up soon.
This book has been a big hit with the children in our family. My niece's granddaughter took it to preschool to share it with her classmates and my nephew-in-law's son took it to bed with him as well as to preschool to share the wonder and magic of precious Knut with his classmates! It is a beautiful, wholesome true story that the whole family can enjoy.
Grade school children will be absolutely enthralled with the story of an baby polar bear no bigger than a snowball! Knut lives in Germany in a zoo, and he was lucky enough to meet Thomas who helped raise him.Thomas fed Knut with a bottle, just like a human baby. He even taught him how to swim.Knut was so cute and his story so amazing that he won the hearts of people all over the world, and now young readers can learn about him with this book that tells all about him. This is an excellent true story told beautifully with wonderful photographs to enhance the tale.What a beautiful example of nonfiction for children to love!
This is such a sweet story of Knut and his handler with beautiful (very cute) photographs. My 8-year old daughter is studying environment in her school and has particularly latched onto the idea of polar bears. This gives an intimate portrait of one polar bear without being preachy about the environment - through there are appropriate resources at the back. My five year old also enjoys it - I think this reading level would continue to be appropriate up to about 9 or 10. One of the better "polar bear" books we have come across.
"Knut" tells the story of a little polar bear cub, abandoned by his mother, and then raised by a human surrogate. The pictures grab attention - from the librarian who checked it out, to the rest of my family. Knut is a great ambassador for polar bears and their fate. Other sources tell how he reached 243 lbs. by his first birthday and had to be put on a diet, and now the Berlin Zoo is now looking for a new home for Knut.
What a beautiful book! Im only sad that l purchased it after Knut passed away in the Berlin Zoo. I keep it on my glass coffee table and many of my guests pick it up and read it from cover to end and get comments from each of them "What a gorgeous little bear, what a beautiful book"Thank you for sending me this book that l will always treasure. I am in Melbourne Australia and received my package only a few days after l placed my order. It travelled thousands of miles across the world to get to me and arrived in perfect condition. A must read book particularly if you love wildlife. A beautifully written book about a polar bear that defied the odds and became the worlds best loved polar bear. May you rest in peace beautiful bear.
Like many people across the globe, I was captivated by the story of Knut. So naturally when I discovered the book about the cutest little bear ever, I had to get it! The story is touching and the photographs are wonderful. I highly recommend this book to animal lovers, people with children and anyone who just enjoys a great true story!
the story of Knut and the zoo employee who raised him is SO sweet. the pics of Knut are too adorable. I had given a copy of this book to my grand daughter for Christmas and then ordered this one from just to have another on hand ( and also so I could look at it lol). Very sweet, any child or animal lover who is young at heart will love it.
