The snow bear is so enchanted by the sight of a dazzling rainbow that he longs
to soak up its colours for himself – but when his wish is granted, he needs
help to become a snow bear once more . . .
Snug in the warmth of his mother’s feathers, Little Albatross grows stronger
every day – until his parents decide he is old enough to be left alone, just
for a little while . . .
