Description

Just you and me and the stars. I’m as happy as can be…

Bear and Bird are best friends! And while they don’t always understand each other, they both agree: all they want it to make the other happy. So, when Bear gobbles up the special, surprise cake Bird made for him, Bird laughs and laughs. And when Bird gets completely lost after sitting on a rock with legs, Bear comes to the rescue, on a walking rock of his own…

Full of funny mix-ups and comic misunderstandings, as well as genuine warmth and affection, these four stories are the second instalment in an irresistibly charming new chapter book series from award-winning creator Jarvis.

Publisher Review

With situations children will find both amusing and surprising, this book offers opportunities to reflect on life skills such as patience, acceptance, understanding, and forgiveness, and will open up communication about friendship […] Gentle text with short chapters makes this an ideal step up from picture books as children become more independent with their reading. It’s also fantastically fun to read aloud! * Teach Primary * The whimsical illustrations add an extra layer of charm to the tales, making Bear and Bird: The Stars and Other Stories a must-have for any children’s bookshelf. This series continues to capture the magic of friendship and the joy of sharing adventures with loved ones. * Preneur World * Jarvis has the kind of wry, gentle humour that appeals both to young children and adults. These stories are as seductive as the first four, full of charm, warmth and genuine affection. Perfect for new solo readers or for sharing. * Red Reading Hub *
