Let's Play, Daddy Bear! A Bloomsbury Young Reader
Book Band: Purple (Ideal for ages 6+)
A heart-warming family story, ideal for children practising their reading at home or in school.
Little Bear lives with Daddy Bear at weekends, and usually they play games like Monster Chase and Daddy-is-a-Big-Climbing-Frame. But today, all Daddy Bear is doing is tap-tap-tapping on his keyboard. Waiting is so boring! Can Little Bear convince him to play?
This charming story from Dawn McNiff is perfect for Key Stage 1 (KS1) children who are learning to read by themselves. It features fun illustrations from Andy Rowland and explores a topic many young children will relate to.
