Little Bear's Grandad

Little bear has tea with his Grandad every week, and they share stories and special times in Grandad's tree house in the garden. One day, Grandad is too tired to tell Little Bear a story, so Little Bear tells him one instead - about their happy Fridays together - after which Grandad falls into the 'very deepest of deep, deep sleeps' and dies. Mummy takes Little Bear up to Grandad's tree house and they remember him sadly. Little Bear resolves to be a good grandad himself some day. This is a profoundly moving book. The glowing illustrations provide the perfect companion to the thoughtfully written text. The warmth of family love and a very special relationship is apparent throughout, and, in particular, the poignant picture of Little Bear clinging to Mum after having been told that grandad will not wake up will remain in the memory for a long time to come.
