From the bestselling author of Owen & Mzee, a picture book about Knut, the adorable polar bear cub who's captured hearts around the world.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knut - Polar Bear

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 Amazon 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Polar Bear book for kids.

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.

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.

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 amazon 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.

This is an exuberant and delightful story that both children and adults will want to read again and again. Knut's heartwarming story is truly one that deserved to be told; he really was the little polar bear that could.

ベルリン動物園の白クマクヌート、ドイツ語版（もあったと思う）を買うか英語を買うかまよって、教材にも使えるかもしれないと英語にしました。だきしめたいぐらい、たまらないかわいらしさ！で思わず購入してしまいました。ミルクを飲むときやんちゃでサッカーボール破ってしまうクヌート、たまりません。英語は難しくなく、意味が推測できるので、ぜひ、学校の小学校３−６年生ぐらいの絵本として見せるのがよいと思います。最後に地球温暖化をふぜぐ行動を書いてあるのがドイツらしい（？）
