Booklist - 11/15/2016 Quiet Hazel and rambunctious Karl are not friends, until they’re stuck on an ice floe together. Initially, the two polar bears build a wall to block out each other, but soon they begin to enjoy things together. When the ice floe drifts back to the mainland, they realize that, even with their markedly different personalities, they can remain friends and live “cozily ever after.” Hazel and Karl’s differences are portrayed in a way that will be familiar even to young children, making this a worthy introduction to interpersonal relationships. The humor-infused, simple line drawings make the plight of the two bears an adventurous, rather than scary, situation, and the limited palette in blue and white with touches of orange reflects the arctic ambiance. Although it is not even hinted at in the text, the effect global warming has on polar bears is described in the back matter. This works not only as a story about two unique polar bears but also as a conversation starter about coping with individual differences. - Copyright 2016 Booklist.
