Barnaby the polar bear cub felt a shiver. His one floppy ear twitched. The ice near his den was getting soft.

He saw something bright. A scarlet scarf lay on the slushy snow. It was like a rainbow ribbon!

Barnaby nudged it. It felt smooth. He pushed it with his nose.

He carried the scarf to his mother. She purred and pulled him close.

The next day, more ice melted. Barnaby sniffed the air. Something new!

A sunny yellow glove sat on a small ice floe. It looked so soft.

Barnaby stretched his paw. He swiped the glove.

He brought the yellow glove to his mother. She nuzzled his head. She held him tight.

Soon, the ice cracked with loud snaps. Barnaby whimpered.

A blue woolly hat floated by. It looked like a tiny, round cloud.

Barnaby paddled quickly. He grabbed the hat.

He paddled back to his mother. He gave her the blue hat. She hugged him. She held him closer than ever before.
