"Perfect for little ones and their parents learning the gentle art of patience together"
This adorable picture book follows a bear cub and his carer on a simple trip into town. You might well have experienced the challenges of doing chores with your little bear cub by your side. Knowing that perhaps it might be a whole lot quicker to go solo. But then you remember the details, the discoveries, the detours. The tiny adventures and gorgeous life lessons on the way hold their own magic. The fun to be had en route. Everything's an adventure. Except, perhaps, queuing.
It's a lesson in patience. In the joy of play. In the art of distraction. In the power of community. Buses are fun. Shopping is fun. Chasing after pigeons is fun. But queues are definitely boring. No fun to be found there. Except when everyone around them in the queue gets involved. Shares the load. Keeps the bear cub engaged whilst they wait to send their parcel to Granny.
In this playful tale, what begins as a wait becomes a shared moment of play. The games to distract the bear cub become bigger, sillier and more joyful. To the point where the cub wants to start all over again. They may be cute, but they can be a handful at times. A perfect book for anyone who has ever tried to distract a little one and accidentally created a monster game they can't escape from!
If you are going into town, your bear cub is going to want to come with you. They will help you carry your bags, they will happily sit next to a stranger on a busy bus, and they will absolutely love playing with the pigeons in the fountain. They will NOT, however, join you in a queue. Queues are BORING! But when you have a parcel to send to Granny, you're going to have to keep your bear cub entertained. . .
