This book replays a scene that occurs in almost every
household – a child who’s fussy about food and parents trying different means
to get him to eat.
Little Bear doesn’t like to eat his porridge. So Mummy Bear leaves his porridge on an old tree
stump for Old Scary Bear.
The next day, his parents drizzle some honey on the
porridge to entice Little Bear to eat. He doesn’t budge. So his porridge is
left out again. This happens a few times and each time, Little Bear observes
that his bowl is left empty. He’s now a little worried about Old Scary Bear and
begins to eat his porridge.
The story ends happily, though. There isn’t anything scary
at the end. :-) We loved the illustrations especially the cuddly-wuddly bears.
Excerpt
That night Little Bear had a bad dream. Old Scary Bear was
chasing him through the woods.
“I want your porridge,” he growled. “It makes me big and
strong!”
