Angel lies awake in the early morning, waiting for the rest of the family to begin the day.
Angel paddles happily around the house until an open refrigerator turns all the water to ice and a polar bear appears. After Angel rids the apartment of its ice and water, she and the polar bear settle down to a game of dominoes. The book maintains an intriguing balance of surrealism and real family situations with Angel as the conquering protector. An abundance of peripheral visual detail adds humour and excitement to Angel's vivid imaginings. This title is suggested as one of many possible resources in the decision-making sample unit of the curriculum, which deals with choosing pets.
