When Knut was born, the first polar bear cub at the Berlin Zoo in more than thirty years, he was no bigger than a snowball and unable to care for himself. His mother, a rescued East German circus bear, didn't know how to take care of Knut and rejected him. Knut would have died if it weren't for Thomas Dorflein, a zookeeper who nurtured Knut, feeding him, sleeping with him, and giving him the love and attention Knut needed to thrive. The adorable little polar bear captured the world's attention, and now Knut is loved around the globe.
《小北極熊努特：一隻小北極熊如何征服全世界》
史上最超人氣的小北極熊，超過100萬名遊客前往柏林動物園一睹克努特風采！
2006年12月5日，在德國柏林動物園的一個安靜角落中，有一隻小北極熊誕生了。
小北極熊的名字叫「努特」，牠出生時還沒有一個雪球大。因為努特的母親沒有辦法照顧小北極熊，所以園方請托瑪斯‧多夫萊成為努特的代理奶爸，日以繼夜在努特身旁照顧牠、餵牠喝配方牛奶、與牠玩耍，並教牠游泳。這是一個北極熊寶寶找到新家庭的真實故事，努特雖然缺乏親生母親的關懷，但是卻得到托瑪斯、動物園，甚至是全球民眾滿滿的愛。本書搭配柏林動物園提供，以及世界級頂尖攝影師的作品，記錄了努特可愛的成長過程，文末並提醒世人，由於地球暖化，北極熊正面臨生存危機。希望藉由本書，讓小朋友除了一睹超人氣小北極熊之外，也能為地球環保盡一分心力。
