Description
By: Francis Tosdevin | Illustrator: Sophia O'Connor
The bear gave a sigh and she waved a paw,
“I’m a curious bear, who must explore.
The world is big, and there’s more to see -
And I’ll find this bear who is not like me.”
With the call of the wild giving her itchy paws, the bear sets off on a new adventure with her book, fixing problems and making friends as she travels. But will she find the strange bear from her book - and if so, will it really be that different?
