A Baby for Loving

Join a charming family of bears as they sing and chuckle and snuggle their way through a sunny afternoon


Children will adore spending time with this family as they delight in each other’s company and delight in the myriad ways a baby can bring joy to everyday life. A sub-plot follows the antics of two pets who hide the baby’s toys, and children will delight in this humourous search-and-find storyline. The rhyming text is complemented by luminous ink paintings that encapsulate the gentle pleasures of an afternoon with the family in the sun.
