Arctic Tale accompanies a new Paramount Vantage motion picture from the producers of March of the Penguins, the 2005 Academy Award winner and highest-grossing natural history film of all time. The film, narrated by Queen Latifah, follows the dual drama of Seela and Nanu, a walrus calf and polar bear cub, as they embark on their astonishing journey from infancy to maturity amidst the stark beauty of the Arctic landscape. Protected by mothers who will stop at nothing to ensure their safe passage to adulthood, both cubs romp in their cold playground as ever-present threats of starvation, predators, and a harsh homeland are overcome in an unrelenting life-and-death struggle to survive.
Each year in the unforgiving, frozen wilderness the two giants of the North Pole—the walrus and the polar bear–begin the cycle anew, of birth and death; of love and life; and of self-sacrifice and great danger.
Adapted and deeply expanded from a sweeping screenplay, Arctic Tale features 150 stunning, full-color National Geographic photographs and stirring text that tell the heartwarming tale of motherhood, community, the circle of life, and the rapidly changing environment that is home to these splendid animals. Both the book and film call awareness to the global warming crisis through emotional connection to the characters.
A foreword by directors Adam Ravetch and Sarah Robertson and a special "Making the Film" chapter at the end of the book reveal amazing behind-the-scenes battles against cold, ice, and walrus mothers, and add insight and understanding to the riveting story.

5.0 out of 5 stars The finest piece of literature in years, from the most prolific author of our time., August 9, 2007
By R. M. Lanman (Silver Spring, MD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: Arctic Tale: A Companion to the Major Motion Picture (Hardcover)
Ms. Baines is quite possibly the finest author we have seen since William Shakespeare. Arctic Tale is a breathtaking look at the life of a polar bear family. Baines' incredible detail made it seem as if she had lived among these creatures, as a Polar Bear herself. Her eloquent use of rhetoric was pleasing to any reader's palate and is unparalleled by any other modern literary champion. Although I was crying throughout the entire book, page 11 definitely hit me the hardest. If you read this book, it will change your life. I got my copy two days ago and I have already read it 38 times. Ms. Baines deserves 100% of the profits from this book as well as the movie. She is truly a genius and I can't wait for more of her work to be released. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? Yes No (Report this)
