Notes

When Knut was first born, he was no bigger than a snowball. His mother was unable to care for him, so a bear keeper at Zoo Berlin, Thomas Dorflein, became Knut’s father - sleeping next to the little cub, feeding him from bottles, and helping him learn how to play and swim. This is a true story of a little bear who needed a family, and the extraordinary outpouring of love he received from Thomas, from the zoo, and from people all over the world.
