Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
This is a lovely simple story in which Helen Oxenbury manages to transcend ordinary life and makes it glow with warmth and love. It tells of a bear, with many kind friends who assist him in finding the things he needs to make his birthday cake and then help him eat it! Young listeners will cheerfully join in and thoroughly enjoy the repetition and rhythm.
