Olly's got the sulks. Won't eat his porridge, won't play with the baby. He just wants to play on his own - until he's left out in the rain and needs Baby Bear's help. A gentle, mischievous story in which a little bear has to learn to share with the baby. Tony Kenyon's soft crayon pictures of the bear family have enormous charm and the simple text in great big type is good to read aloud and share.
