CorebooksA patterned text describes in simple terms what made a particular day perfect for several animals in turn. Having established an idyll, the animals’ peace is disturbed by the arrival of Bear who appears in the pictures but is not named in the text until the end of the story. The illustrations show why the perfection of the day is now in the past tense for each animal, thanks to Bear’s antics.
