Bear and Bird: The Adventure and Other Stories cover

"These wittily illustrated stories of mishaps, hurt feelings, fondness and friendship have a transporting quality, ideal for 5+." Guardian
Bear and Bird are best friends! And while they don’t always understand each other, they both agree: all they want is to make the other happy. So, when Bird feels poorly, Bear arrives with a backpack of goodies to make her feel better. And when they hang out with Mole – who tells absolutely hilarious jokes! – Bird realizes she doesn’t need to compete for Bear’s attention; that there is lots of laughter to go around...

Full of comic mix-ups and misunderstandings, as well as genuine warmth and affection, these four stories are the third instalment in an irresistibly charming new chapter book series from award-winning creator Jarvis.

With each story being comparable in length to a picture book and gorgeous full-colour illustrations accompanying the text throughout, this is a wonderful book for littles to share with an adult or to pore over by themselves at the very start of their reading journey but will also be enjoyed by those a little older who are gaining in confidence and are looking for a solo read. * Word’s Smallest Library *
This delightful duo will amuse both emergent readers and young listeners with their ups and downs and silliness that are beautifully captured in words and pictures by the inimitable Jarvis. * Red Reading Hub *
Another brilliant set of four stories featuring best friends Bear and Bird. * The Strawberry Post *
My five year old grandson and I are already very fond of this pair of friends… We strongly recommend this delightfully illustrated book. * The Letterpress Project *
