Review: 'Iris and Issac' by Catherine Rayner (Children's Picture Book)

Iris and Isaac

This is a simple story about two polar bears who have an argument over something very minor, only to stomp off in different directions. Getting into a huff, they wander around the Arctic by themselves for a while, wishing however that they could share the wondrous sights that they see with the other. They eventually meet again and all is forgiven and forgotten. I find the illustrations absolutely stunning! They are light, airy and suit the unique setting of the book. The actual story however seems somewhat lacklustre to me and I improvise moreso then read the actual words with my daughter.
