This is a look-and-find book with a difference - the difference being Jackie Morris's sumptuous animal fantasies.

Page by page, very young children can explore the theatrical and circus settings, follow the simple clues in the read-aloud nursery verse and try 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 bed time - a cue for little bears' bedtimes everywhere!
