Anook: The Snow Princess

(4) K-3 Anook, the youngest polar bear princess in Northland, is tricked by her sisters to ensure that the king won't select her to be queen. On her own in a cold world, Anook turns her luck around. Derived from the same tale-type as King Lear, the story doesn't mesh with Wilhelm's cuddly art, but the swift plotting will keep kids interested.
