“A truly lovely tale in celebration of daddy and baby bears, with
gorgeous, warm illustrations.”
*The Bookseller*
“The text perfectly catches some of those special interactions
between parent and child, and illustrator Emily Hughes makes the
bears particularly endearing.”
*Andrea Reece, LoveReading*
The immediate pleasure of A Brave Bear by Sean Taylor and Emily
Hughes is in the comfortable, assured rhythm of the writing. [...]
The story also has a spring in its step and is a delightful account
of a father/son relationship - one that will stay warm no matter
how cool the river gets.
*The Observer*
