No Trouble at All
Illustrated by Eleanor Taylor
Bespectacled Grandfather Bear baby-sits his two grandchildren and as the story unfolds through his monologue addressed to the cat (and readers) a view of two angelic little bears unfolds. But, read the pictures - some divided upstairs/downstairs or left/right by the gutter - and a very different story emerges with pillow fights, hide and seek, and midnight feasts. As Grandfather retires to bed only the cat knows what really went on. The cosy watercolour and pencil interiors of Grandfather's log cabin cum tree house are full of detail, nooks and crannies for little bears and readers to 'paw' over.
