This band of adorable bears caught my eye on the way to the issue desk at the library last week. Bear themed books, toys and clothes are a firm favourite in our household these days, so I decided to borrow it to read to my son immediately!
The bears in the story are on their way to a parade (there is a robot bear with them, which was very cool) ! I think it's spring or summer in the book, the imagery is joyful, the bunting, balloons and playful use of colour left me longing for family fetes, festivals and community events in nice weather. There is a magical firework display at the end of their evening at the parade.
The fun pictures, are complemented by a playful and simple rhyme scheme which was a lot of fun for our one year old to listen to and kept him occupied during story time. The use of descriptive adjectives was educational yet also enhanced the enjoyment of the story . The various bears are a joyous celebration of individuality!
This book is a bed time book in disguise, at the end of the story , the baby bear is tucked up in bed, exhausted after a wonderful day at the bear parade.
