Me and Mister P by Maria Farrer - Reading notes, discussion ideas and activities

There are times when only a polar bear will do…

So Mum and Dad have decided we’re moving house, but not just down the road, not even in the same town… not even in the same COUNTRY! Not only that, but now they expect me to try and fit in and make new friends. Don’t they understand that I just want my old friends who love and accept me the way I am—bad jokes and all.

It would seem that the only friend I CAN make is this enormous POLAR BEAR who has come to stay. I didn’t ask for him, but I ended up with him at the
airport instead of my missing suitcase…

Meet Joe, who is trying to adapt to his new life. And meet Mister P, the world’s most helpful(ish) polar bear!
