Question: The Polar Bear Spills the Beans!?
Herman Snuffowitz enjoys taking strolls through the woods at night!. Northern Cananda can be a beautiful place, filled with wonder and enchantment!. One evening while staring at the Northern Lights he overheard some chuckling, and bits of a conversation!.
"I'm telling you, man!. Hotter than H-E-Double Hockey Sticks!"
"I still don't think you should have shaved your chest, you look stupid!."
Herman inched closer to the sound and more voices became clear!.
"Stanley, where's the missus!?"
"Oh," the speaker snorted, "dumb broad went to visit her mother in Alaska, and I said the closest I'd get is if a hunter chopped off my antlers!.!.!."
Herman broke a stick, and the camp went silent!. The fire was quickly put out, and night sank around him like a quilt!. There was a flutter of feet, and then a report, "It's a human boy!"
Then heavy footsteps, and reflective eyes, heavy breathing, the sounds of something huge!.
"Well, he's caught us," the Polar Bear with the shaved chestWww@QuestionHome@Com

Go for it!. Get Al Gore for the foreword!. After all, he invented Global Warming!. And as an editorial comment, I would change the shaving of the chest to waxing!. Much neater, smoother look!. You are rapidly becoming the 21st Century Dr!. Seuss!. Pax-CWww@QuestionHome@Com
Oh man, that's hilarious!. I think flutter of feet sounds rather awkward--makes me think of feet in ballet style!.
Yes, I would definitely read that to my kids! Indeed!Www@QuestionHome@Com
I would, provided it wasn't an obvious preach about how humans are destroying the world - the global warming angle is getting so worn (I know it really is a huge problem)!. My kids would love your story so long as you research some surprising and interesting animal biology and POVs, and don't make it too cutesy and lite, even if it's for 5 year olds!. They would love to know what it really feels like to be in a racoon's skin!. For example, describe what it feels like to be a hibernating bear and wake, the pressure animals feel to find enough food every day and always be on watch for predators, how a wolf 'sees' mostly with its nose and ears (and is color-blind), why hot seal's blood tastes sooo good to a polar bear, how does it feel for a bull elk to be in rut (like a testosterone-charged teen boy behind the wheel of a car!?), the ways deer know to escape from wolves, what it feels like for a seal at 300 feet below sea level, what an eagle can see at 500 feet above, how geese know which way to fly on migration, and salmon!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
