Bear and Bird: The Picnic and Other Stories
Author: Jarvis
Illustrator: Jarvis
Publisher: Walker
The first chapter-book from celebrated picturebook creator Jarvis, this charming title features four short stories focussing on the trials and tribulations of friendship between best friends Bear and Bird. These gentle tales are told with a real warmth and understanding of children’s emotions, often following a narrative pattern of equilibrium/misunderstanding/resolution, and call to mind Arnold Lobel’s classic Frog and Toad stories.
A sequel, published in October 2023: Bear and Bird: The Stars and Other Stories (9781529504903), £9.99
