Claude, the little polar bear, is excited about going to the Arctic to visit his aunt Annie. He has never been on an airplane, and he has never seen real snow before. Mom and Dad tell him there will be a surprise waiting for him when he gets back. As his vacation ends, Claude decides to bring home a surprise of his very own. Little ones will delight in the bold, bright artwork, the warmhearted story, and the surprise in store for Claude: a new baby sister.
