"a lovely tale of friendship, temptation and compassion that offers humour but also understanding and gentle empathy both for children who unintentionally struggle to make the best choices, and those who struggle with other children’s challenging behaviour.", "A wonderfully illustrated, very amusing story about friendship. We love this beautifully illustrated adorable story with its cast of woodland characters.", "A lovely story about friendship, hibernation and impulse control!", "Funny, thought-provoking and engagingly illustrated, with its ‘OH NO BEAR!’ refrain this is an enjoyable autumn term read for foundation stage audiences especially.", "A wonderful story with a repetitive plot that will have children guessing what happens next. This would work as a wonderful introduction to hibernation..."
