The smiling bear on this glimmering gleaming cover looks very content. And that’s because the bear has a book full of knowledge and wisdom that enables her to help her fellow creatures as she travels the world. This is a bear with a curious and kind nature. The story opens,
A bear marched out on a moonlit night,
Her fur was thick and her eyes were bright.
She sniffed the air and she licked a paw –
She loved her home, but she wanted more.
“The world is big and there’s much to see,
And a bear must go where she wants to be.
And a bear as curious as me …
… Longs to gaze at the starlit sea!’
At the beautiful starlit sea Bear meets a crab in need of help, which she gives. She then moves on the jungle, and a crocodile in trouble, before a desert introduces her to a lizard in need of help.
Last of all, Bear travels by boat to a place where there are people with a bookshop holding Volume Two! So she’s content to stay put, and just read for a while.
Beautiful text and beautiful pictures, this is a lyrical lovely book.
