Bear and Bird: The Adventure and Other Stories

What it is: A charming collection of four gentle and funny stories following best friends Bear and Bird as they navigate friendship, feelings and all the little misunderstandings that come along the way. From caring for each other when one is feeling poorly to discovering that there's always room for more friends and more laughter, this beautifully illustrated chapter book is full of warmth and heart.

Why we love it: We love Bear and Bird for its perfect mix of humour, warmth and friendship. It is a great choice for a first chapter book for children growing their confidence in reading. The stories are funny, thoughtful and full of those little moments children recognise - learning to share, understanding feelings and celebrating the people who make us happy.
