The story and beautiful illustrations in this book perfectly capture the magical moments between a father and child as they play, giggle and express affection. Even though the characters are bears, it’s their wonderful humanity that makes this book so sweet.
An honour book from the Children’s Book Council of Australia, this story is bound to get any grumbly little bear in the mood for bedtime and a loving goodnight hug.
