Big Bear, Little Bear

A nice story but the illustrations were all similar colours, due to it being about white bears in ice and snow... so would recommend to children who are talking and beginning to understand stories, rather than those seeking a surprise on each page.

A brilliantly illustrated book, ideal for little one's bedtime reading. All my grandchildren enjoy the book. I love Jane's characterisation of the bears.

Little bear wants to grow up like his mummy but realises that although his mum can do lots of amazing things being small is a lot of fun and growing up can wait a while. Beautiful illustrations, textured bears for little fingers, and charming story. Great for little ones and soppy mums alike!Reviewed by a soppy mum.

Great quality. Lovely book.

Storyline -A story about Little bear who wants to be big like his mum so he can do things.Themes: sizes, animals, weather, habitats, heathy eating.Activity ideas:- Children explore sizes for example stretching their arms out like little bear.- Children could discuss why little bear wants to be big.- Children could discuss what little bear need to do in order to get big like big bear (healthy eating).

This book hooked both my son (2) and I from the first time we read it.The little bears aspirations to be as big and fast as his mother really captured our imagination. My son loved the pictures that went with each page and was really caught up in the whole story.A fantastic read and one that will stay in our repertoire for a long while to come!
