Julia Eccleshare's comment:

This is an exhilarating story about friends helping each other realise their dreams and, having great fun doing it.  When bear wants to fly he’s helped by four little children to realise his dream.  What fun they have.  In addition, it comes complete with an audio CD that is read by the author.  It’s a perfect book for reading aloud and for listening to on a journey. A joyful follow up to The Bear in the Cave and We’re going on a Bear Hunt.

Reviews

Praise for The Bear in the Cave: 'The Bear in the Cave feels more like jazz than prose
Observer
'A long-awaited near-sequel to the bestselling, much-chanted We're Going on a Bear Hunt'
Guardian Praise for Bear Flies High:
'Every bit as sing-songy as We're Going on a Bear Hunt, and backed by warm and vibrant illustrations'
Bookseller
'A rhythmic romp with lively illustrations'

Michael Rosen on Michael Rosen:

I grew up in the London suburb of Pinner, a place my parents often wondered about. How had we landed there? My parents were teachers, politically committed (socialists), and great storytellers and readers. I was lucky to have found them. 

Most of my adult life, I've been a freelance writer, teacher (of sorts), journalist, performer and broadcaster. I visit schools doing my one-man show, and support Arsenal Football Club. 

I have often written about my life and family, but I also write occasional fantasy (usually based in a real place) and non-fiction.
