"This charming rhyming picture book sees an aspiring champion coiffeur of hair realise his dream of brushing a bear!"
Elegantly illustrated in an appealing retro style and palette that’ll delight adults and toddlers alike, Sam Hearn’s Never Brush a Bear is packed with rollicking read-aloud rhymes and giggle-inducing absurdity.
Dandily-dressed Hershel is a pet pamperer extraordinaire who dreams of winning prizes “for coiffuring creatures of all shapes and sizes”. One such creature is a bear, but of course a bear isn’t the most obvious of animals to brush. For one thing, bears are not pets. For another, they’re not known for sitting still. In fact, bears have a tendency to be “wild and ferocious”. But Hershel is set on realising his dream and so ventures deep into the woods…
On finding none other than a “GREAT BIG WILD BEAR!”, this particular bear turns out to be rather lovely, though his ticklishness does leads to some joyful silliness that will leave little ones longing for the story to be read again, and again, and again.
