About a Bear

Description

Starring a very jolly big brown bear, this is the first book for HarperCollins from the talented author-illustrator Holly Surplice. A bear can be happy, a bear can be sad. A bear can be bored, and a bear can be glad! Life is never dull for this bear - there are butterflies to chase, trees to climb and streams to splash in... and it's even more fun when friends join in. Warm, friendly rhyming text and gloriously textured, multi-layered illustrations combine to make this the perfect book to share at bedtime.

This is Holly Surplice's first book for HarperCollins, and her adorable animal characters have masses of child appeal. Holly lives in Edinburgh with her husband, their young daughter and Marbles the Dalmatian - soon to star in Holly's next book!

"This book glows with incredibly vibrant colours as warm as the story itself... It makes a perfect bedtime story with its gorgeous collage style illustrations" Mother & Baby magazine
