About this book
If it's your first day of school and you're feeling a little sad or afraid, but you still cannot take a bear with you. There are some very good reasons for this: he'll cause panic by running through the playground, waving his claws; he'll growl, he won't fit into the chairs, he'll eat all the food at lunchtime. But don't worry: you'll have a wonderful time with all your new friends, and when the end of the day comes, Bear will be waiting with a big hairy hug.
Stylish and beautiful, this is a heartwarming book full of bear hugs that will cheer even the most nervous of new pupils.
