What Happened to Wilfred Bear
One greets the work of Abigail Pizer with excitement, having been enchanted by earlier books. Wilfred Bear starts the book on the fly leaf looking worn and well-loved - he ends on the corresponding flyleaf looking worn and well loved, but with added stitches and a few patches! The illustrations have all the detail and charm we expect from this artist. She manages with subtle deft touches to make us empathise with Wilfred as he tumbles helplessly from one ghastly predicament to the next, yet she never loses that essential quality of the mute, long-suffering teddy bear.
