From the land of the midnight sun comes Aurora the polar bear, seated on her squashy, bean-filled bottom with her head turned to one side to view the magical northern lights. She's made of velvety-soft, fuzzy fabric in snowy white for perfect camouflage on the ice floes. Her rear feet have tiny black velvet pads, and her pink mouth is open in a friendly smile. Aurora's birthday is February 3, 2000, and her special poem reads:
The midnight sun puts on a show
For all the polar bears below
Under ribbons of shining light
Aurora hugs you and says goodnight!
