Emma has never heard of carousel animals leaving notes before, but she decides to take this one seriously. And it’s a good thing she does. Soon, she and her polar bear friend are soaring to the Arctic, where carousel bears from near and far dance beneath a sparkling night sky. It’s a perfect adventure. Afterward, Emma can hardly believe it really happened. (But it did!)

For anyone who has ever imagined what it would be like to ride a carousel animal right off its platform, this enchanting story is your chance. Happy Travels!
