Overview:
The Tom and Bear Collection brings together three lift-the-flap board books from award-winning author Ian Whybrow, illustrated by Axel Scheffler, co-creator of The Gruffalo. Perfect for babies and toddlers, this set follows loveable Bear as he journeys back to his best friend Tom through bedtime, tickly and Christmas adventures. Rhyming text, interactive flaps and detailed illustrations make every page a joy to share, encouraging early language and laughter.
About the Books:
In The Bedtime Bear, Bear races home before lights out, cycling through the jungle with a tiger and hitching a lift with a sheep in a jeep, with a flap to lift on every page, turning bedtime into a gentle, giggly adventure. The Tickle Book introduces the mischievous Ticklemonster, off to tickle animal friends from farmyard pigs to zoo penguins, inviting little readers to join Tom and Bear on the chase. In The Christmas Bear, poor Bear is left behind in Father Christmas's workshop and races to reach Tom's house by Christmas morning, lifting flaps that reveal icy seas, snowy forests and the North Pole. All three share the same rhythmic storytelling style, the same endearing friendship, and the same busy Axel Scheffler artwork that rewards repeated readings. Sturdy board pages and generous flaps survive enthusiastic little hands, while the rhyming text builds early vocabulary and listening skills. Whether for a calming bedtime ritual, giggly playtime, or a festive countdown to Christmas, this trio offers toddlers a warm first library of storytelling and adventure.
