Books with author Miela Ford

"Youngsters will delight in this ringside view of the playful antics of two polar bear cubs. Large color photos capture the animated cubs as they splash in their own private pool and, quite literally, have a ball. The accompanying text, delivered in short, simple sentences, shares the thoughts and imaginary exchanges of the two friends....A splendid addition to a story time."--Booklist.

The baby polar bear who first tumbled onto the scene in Miela Ford's Mom and Me now lands squarely in the hands of the very youngest viewers in a sturdy board book format. She is a very busy bear. She climbs and stretches and wiggles -- and delights anyone lucky enough to witness her newly acquired self-reliance. But when all that action makes a young bear feel like dozing, snuggling up to mom is surely the best activity of all. A full-color photographic celebration of independence -- and the sheer joy of play -- for any cub (with or without fur!)

What's white and fluffy and curious about everything? A baby polar bear, of course! This cub is no exception -- and here is the exuberant, full-color, photographic proof. Under the ever-watchful, adoring eye of her mother, this youngster romps, frolics, and explores her world like any human child. And when all that playing works up a young bear's appetite, well, Mom is there for that, too. Miela Ford aims her lens and presents yet another irresistible family album of the furriest kind.

"This sequel to Bear Play offers the very youngest library-goers a high-quality alternative to board books. Large, clear photographs capture the playful polar bear cubs, this time playing the favorite childhood game Follow the Leader, with short, simple sentences appearing underneath in bold type....Preschoolers will enjoy looking at the spectacular photos and telling the try they depict out loud."--Booklist.

Here are two happy lion cubs with the whole day ahead of them. Plenty of time to run and pounce and tease and tag. What could be better? Maybe a game of peek-a-boo. Or a nap with Mom and Dad. But make it a catnap, because playtime can't wait! Miela Ford continues to delight her young audience with exuberant, full-color photographs that capture the spirit of sheer animal energy and joy.
