Anmeldelser

A stuffed polar bear goes sledding down a bedsheet hung off a dresser and breaks a leg. I dunno if I like it. Putting seals in clothes was kinda odd, but cute. Encouraging children to be brave is good. But my son says it goes too far, encouraging children to be reckless. I'd love to send it to you and get your opinion (if you live in the US).
