Product Description
In the middle of a wintry night, deep in the forest, Urso Brunov hears a cry for help carried over the cold winds. Wolves are on the prowl and two young polar bears are lost in the forest. Though he may be the size of a thumb, who is Urso Brunov if he is not the Little Father of All Bears? Traversing snow-laden forests on the backs of stags and crossing wide seas atop a whale, this tiny yet brave hero returns the two lost polar bear cubs to the Land of Rainbow Lights— and is treated to a grand celebration in the land of ice before returning home in a wondrous moonlit flight on the back of a goose.
In the age-old tradition of tall tales, Redwall author Brian Jacques shows us storytelling at its finest in this spirited adventure.

3 1/2 if I could..., Dec 15 2008
By Reading Mom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Urso Brunov And The White Emperor (Hardcover)
Jacques does it again, almost.
The first Urso adventure was such a hit in our home, the kids asked for it over and over and even the parents around here could not help but recite the wonderful rhymes and adventure bits '... for I am Urso Brunov!'
The White Emperor is just as fanciful and Urso just as big as a bear the size of your thumb can be, but... and I am yet unclear exactly what the but it, but its seems as if a piece of magic or heart is not quite conveyed to make us all want to read it every night again and again and recite the details over and over.
Do not take that to mean however, that we read it once and put it away... on the contrary, it seems to be a creeper of sorts making the bedtime list first every ten days to once a week to now every three or four days.
If you are an Urso fan, by all means grab this one up. If you are purchasing an Urso tale for the first time, go with the original first.
And lets all intend Brian Jacques keeps adding on to this Bears's memoirs!

fun followup to Urso Brunov, Feb 22 2011
By Nancy Stewart - Published on Amazon.com
The Little Father of All Bears may only be a few inches tall, but he is a commanding figure nonetheless, and also brave and a creative problem-solver. He demands respect, but he puts up with a lot from his children, too. In this story he goes to the rescue of some polar bears menaced by wolves. He enlists the help of various other animal friend to get the polar bears safely to their home and then to get him and a few Brunov bears back to their hollow tree to finish hibernating. The story has plenty of adventure without anything too fearful happening, a gentle story okay for bedtime.

Recommended for young picturebook readers with good reading skills, April 15 2009
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Urso Brunov And The White Emperor (Hardcover)
Alexi Natchev provides vivid and powerful drawings to accompany the fantasy Urso Brunov and the White Emperor, recommended for young picturebook readers with good reading skills, or parental assistance. Urso Brunov hears a cry for help in the middle of winter, and sets out to help - for even though he's the size of a thumb, he's the Little Father of All Bears. His heroic attitude will carry him through a dangerous mission to return the two lost polar bear cubs to the Land of Rainbow Lights in this vivid story.
