Whatever Next!

Little bear wants to go to the moon. Mum says it's bathtime and anyway he'll need a rocket. Bear finds a cardboard box and a colander for his head and, not forgetting his teddy bear, zooms up the chimney and off to the moon, picking up owl on the way. He returns, a little grubby, and in the bath tells mum his adventures. All she can say is, 'Whatever next!' The pictures, full colour on the left, black and white with the text on the right, show wide, dark, star-filled heavens, the backdrop to bear's magical yet homely journey.
