Arrived in great condition.This is a book I used to read to my now adult daughters and I re-bought it recently for my two and a half year old grandaughter. Sadly the shop only had one copy since I realised that I also needed a copy for myself, hence my Amazon purchase. The story is very simple, not threatening or exciting: just great for bedtime soothing. But why I completely love it is because the illustrations are so evocative. Windblown winter skies whirl leaves about and you can feel the cold - read it in the summer and you will be transported to a cold winter and be pleased that you aren't out there in the cold; read it in winter and you'll be glad to be inside away from the cold wind. You can embroider the story if you want, and just talk round the illustrations, or just read it. It is a great book and I heartily recommend it for anyone from two and a half upwards.Given to my five year old granddaughter, a lovely story about a bear trying to hibernate despite all the interruptions from his furry friends,Lovely story -Lovely story for EYFSA brilliant surpriuse in pass the parcel amd a very happy boy who won. An thought provoking story, unusual and interesting.
