Little Bear

Description

'A wonderful book for kids to curl up with at bedtime, as cosy as an embrace from a fluffy polar bear' - Observer 'Full of delight and warmth and tenderness' - Sunday Times On Monday, a boy finds a polar bear in his garden... only, this polar bear is so small he can fit in the palm of the boy's hand. "Are you lost, Little Bear?" the boy asks. "Can I help you?" Day by day the bear grows - and so does their friendship - until the boy realises that it's time for the bear to go home. A tender, stunningly illustrated fable about letting go with love from the creator of Perdu. Also by Richard Jones: Perdu Written by Jim Helmore and illustrated by Richard Jones The Snow Lion Paper Planes
