Can You See a Little Bear? Board Book

By James Mayhew
Illustrated by Jackie Morris

A bedtime look-and-find book now in board book!

Page by page, very young children can explore the theatrical and circus settings, follow the simple clues in the read-aloud nursery verse trying to find Little Bear, whether he's trying on a hat, standing on his head or floating in a balloon. But gradually Little Bear moves into a more familiar landscape of tea, bath and bedtime: a cue for little bears' bedtimes everywhere!

  • Sumptuous artwork in a theatrical circus setting by a top illustrator.
  • Opposites, colours and contrasts are introduced in the verse.
