The Everywhere Bear - by Julia Donaldson (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

A rhyming story about a beloved classroom teddy bear who goes on a big adventure from Julia Donaldson, the author of The Gruffalo, and award-winning illustrator Rebecca Cobb.

The Everywhere Bear has a wonderful time with the children in Class One, but one day he gets more than he bargained for when he falls unnoticed from a backpack and embarks on his own big adventure! He's washed down a drain and whooshed out to sea, rescued by a fishing boat, loaded onto a lorry, carried off by a seagull . . . how will he ever make it back to Class One?

The Everywhere Bear is a warm and engaging rhyming story that celebrates familiar classroom experiences and the special bond between children and their treasured toys, from the creators of the bestselling The Paper Dolls.
