Picture This: A Friend for Bear


When Little Bear wakes up from hibernation there's so much she wants to do. From rolling down hill to tickling tadpoles, she's planning to pack as many activities into one day as possible. But if she doesn't slow down and take her time, she might forget her most important task of all - making friends. 

A Friend for Bear is a lovely story for children on the go! Little Bear is in such a rush to experience as much as possible, she doesn't stop to enjoy anything or to consider the feelings of those around her. 

Tortoise was a calm, steady friend who reminded Little Bear that the end of the day doesn't mean the end of fun - they have weeks of Spring to fill playing together. 

Steve Smallman's stories are always sweet and funny and A Friend for Bear is no different. It's lots of fun to read aloud - Little Bear's enthusiasm is contagious. 

Pedler's artwork is colourful and classic, with warm pictures of characters who look soft enough to cuddle. Little Bear's world is full of the joys of spring, with brightly coloured flowers and greenery in every illustration. 


Thank you Little Stripes for sending me a copy of A Friend for Bear to review. 

A Friend for Bear is written by Steve Smallman and illustrated by Caroline Pedler
