In the tradition of March of the Penguins, National Geographic Children's Books brings you the next heart warming animal adventure story, Arctic Tale.

Beautifully illustrated with stills from the movie, the picture book tells the same story as the movie, but with the sad and scary parts removed.

In the grand, desolate Arctic, a desert of ice and blowing snow, two babies are born. One is a sleek polar bear named Nanu, the other an endearing burly walrus named Seela. Arctic Tale is the story of their journey from cuddled adorable youth to carefree adolescence to courageous maturity and parenthood. Nanu and Seela each discover nature's daily events and encounter the eternal mysteries around them. When adversity strikes, and the Arctic ice melts earlier than usual and freezes later, they are carried along and must learn to adapt to their changing environment.
