About This Book

Ten lively polar bears start a polka party on a huge iceberg, but as the music plays, chunks of ice break away, sending the bears floating one by one. Can they count down from ten and bring their chilly stage back together before the music stops? Join the fun as the bears work as a team to keep the polka going strong!
