Age: Preschool+

I personally liked the illustrations but this book would definitely fit into the parental label of "wordless picture books I hate to share with my child because I have no idea what's going on and can't answer any of their questions." Most parents are so acclimated to picture books with a plot that their determined search will only end in frustration. It is a little bizarre that it is called "the island" instead of "islands" when the polar bear is swimming to each distinct island. Try and explain that abstract concept to your 5-year-old.

If parents are willing to accept that this book has no plot and that it's more of a "look where polar bear is visiting now!" book then it can be a successful "read." Also, it would be delightful to have children guess what each ambiguous structure is.
