Things I Love By Bear

Bear loves lots of things. There’s his everyday love for Mummy and Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa, and his best friend Bruno. But there’s room in his big bear-y heart for some other things, too, like wearing his underpants on his head, the funny noise Bruno makes when he has windypops, and eating ice cream and apple pie. At the end of the story, children will love responding to Bear’s invitation to whisper in his ear to tell him what they love, too. A conversation starting point for a sense of wellbeing.
