Knut: How One Little Polar Bear Captivated The World
By Craig, Juliana, and Isabella Hatkoff and Gerald R. Uhlich

On December 5, 2006, in a quiet corner of Zoo Berlin in Germany, a little polar bear cub was born. His name was Knut, and he was no bigger than a snowball. Knut’s mother was unable to care for him, so a bear keeper at the zoo, Thomas Dorflein, became Knut’s foster father—sleeping next to the little cub each night, feeding him from bottles, and helping him learn how to play and swim.

This is the true story of a bear cub who needed a family, and the extraordinary outpouring of love he received from Thomas, from the zoo, and finally from people around the world.
