Nothing Can Frighten A Bear

Description

Daddy Bear insists he's the scariest creature in the forest - didn't you know that nothing can frighten a bear? - but when there's a noise in the night, Baby Bear isn't convinced. The bears set out to make sure there aren't any monsters but, as they vanish one by one, it looks like Daddy Bear might not be so brave after all! This is a story full of comic surprises and gentle reassurance. After all, the things that go bump in the night are never as scary as you might think.

But she enjoyed reading children's books to her daughters so much that she decided to try writing them and found she loved it more than anything. beautiful places and seeking inspiration for her stories. Having seen what a wonderful life she leads, two of her daughters have grown up to be children's authors, too. Paula Metcalf has been writing and illustrating for a very long time.
