About this story
From icy polar lands to steamy rainforest canopies, the friends travel further than ever before — then throw the biggest celebration yet: a woodland festival full of songs, puppet shows, seed gifts, and new friends. Along the way they rescue a tangled hedgehog, learn to read animal tracks, and make a promise to protect the natural world. Across 50 fact-filled scenes, this adventure compares two of Earth's most opposite habitats — thick fur versus waterproof feathers, endless winter nights versus sunlit treetops — and shows that every habitat is a neighborhood of animals helping each other. A celebration of curiosity, sharing, and new beginnings.
- Blubber — a thick layer of fat that keeps sea animals warm in icy water
- Waterproof — made so water slides right off, like a penguin's feathers
- Huddle — to snuggle close together in a group, like penguins sharing warmth
- Migration — a long journey animals make when the seasons change
- Canopy — the leafy green roof of a rainforest, high above the ground
- Polar — the icy lands near the top and bottom of the world
- Dawn — the very first light of morning
- Promise — saying you will do something and then doing it
