Mr Thumberland Heath, known as Thumber to his friends, was born 20 years ago on Muffin Island, near the North pole. Thumber is a Polarpix, a very distant relative of the polar bear family .

  Thumber’s island was in trouble of disappearing because it was melting due to all the problems with global warming. Thumber was found by a team of explorers who took him home to look after and care for him. He enjoyed all sorts of things like fishing for his dinner and flying his kite with all his friends. He also liked making up stories for his story book.

Thumber likes to eat fish and vegetables. He says fish is important because it helps you to learn and vegetables are important because they keep you healthy.

  Thumber loves music and dancing and likes to watch cartoons, but not too much television because it makes his eye’s go all funny.

   Thumber really hates bullying  and says if anyone is bullying you, you must tell some one about it. You can even tell him if you want, by going on his website. Thumber also hates smoking, he thinks it smells and he knows it’s not good for you.

Thumber has decided to go on an adventure to let all the children know about how they can look after their environment  and live together happily. Thumber was so surprised and happy to find somewhere that sounded like his name, that he just had to come and live here in Northumberland Heath.

Thumber wants top get to know all the children in the area and would like them to join his club, the Thumber Club. Members of the club will get birthday cards and Christmas cards from Thumber, invites to his parties, discount vouchers for theme parks and the cinema, plus lots more.

 Above all, Thumber is your friend, your friend for ever.
