網路媒體書評：
　　巴胡用輕鬆的筆觸和幽默的方式講述了他的故事，這絲毫不影響信息的內容。——The Bookbag
　　令人欣慰的是，這本傑出且非常流行的書應該給世界各地的幼兒閱讀。——圖畫書博主
 
Amazon/Goodreads讀者五星好評：
　　受敘利亞難民危機的啟發，創作了這本可愛的小圖畫書，將他豐富多彩的藝術作品與三個流浪者尋找家園的簡單故事相結合。巴胡將難民塑造成北極熊，從人類角度來看，這是一個難民面對一個不受歡迎的世界的故事，但從自然主義的角度來看，它可能是動物受到氣候變化影響的故事。
 
　　一個看似簡單但及時的故事，適合世界各地的幼兒。我認為，特別影響人的是長頸鹿，牠們繼續啜飲著飲料並假裝看不到正在發生的事情（我們中有多少人對世界上難民和其他人面臨的挑戰一無所知，而只專注於自己的生活？）一本偉大的書，介紹了寬容、尊重、體貼的主題，並成為關於成為難民和人權的討論跳板。
 
　　這本書非同尋常，巴胡成功傳達了關於移民的困境，並創造如此多的層次，開闢了廣泛的討論。不僅如此，在視覺上，當北極熊被困在這片小冰塊上的嚴酷狀況與他們試圖尋求避難的島嶼的傑出美景之間的對比時，你將完全沉浸在整個故事中。

The follow-up to Barroux's stunning and critically acclaimed Where's the Elephant? and Where's the Starfish?

When Polar Bear and his friends are swept away from their icy home, they hope to find refuge in a new land. But when they are turned away from one new place after another, they start to doubt that they will ever find somewhere they will be made welcome.


　　In this exceptional book, author-illustrator Barroux has crafted a powerful story with a twist ending about hugely important and current issues. A great opportunity for parents to discuss with children the plight of migrants and refugees, as well as global warming, in a gentle, open-ended way.


　　"With a reassuring twist, this exceptional and very current book should be read to young children everywhere." - Picture Books Blogger


　　"Barroux tells his story with a light touch and a sprinkling of humour, which takes nothing away from the message." - The Bookbag
