Beschreibung des Verlags
This lovable companion to Jan Brett's instant New York Times bestselling winter classic, Cozy, shows that kindness and cleverness can capture a heart.
After losing a test of strength to another musk ox in his herd, Cozy is convinced he’ll never impress his crush, Lofti.
But while he’s sulking, he learns of a bigger concern. His friend Bella, a beluga whale, is still playing in an inlet even though it’s cold enough for ice to form and block her way out.
Cozy races to the inlet and, sure enough, Bella is in trouble. Luckily, Cozy thinks of a new way to use his strong legs and tough horns that might help save Bella and win Lofti’s heart as well.
Jan Brett's newest story about this lovable character shows how helping your friends is always the right thing to do—no matter who is watching.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Brett returns to the world of Cozy for this tale about the woolly musk ox character finding love in the Arctic tundra. Despite his best head-bashing effort, Cozy is bested by another musk ox bull and fails to win the attention of "lovely Lofti," a musk ox cow with "a sparkle in her eye that set her apart." But before Cozy can feel too sorry for himself, Puffin corrals him for an urgent mission: to help their beluga friend Bella escape Teardrop Inlet before it completely freezes over as winter fast approaches. Cozy uses his head—literally—and some "simple science" to raise the water level so Bella can swim away, all while Lofti admiringly looks on. Embracing her signature style, Brett frames each watercolor and gouache image with a rustic border. Side panels of spot art on each page work to foreshadow plot elements and introduce details of the expansive Alaskan setting—accurately drawn puffins, seaweed, starfish, and, fittingly, heart-shaped stones. Ages 4–8.
