Description
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 Dad-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 illustrations from Andy Rowland and explores a topic many young children will relate to.

Very pleasing little read for (hopefully) very pleasing little readers. Having a weekend at her father's as usual, Little Bear is disgusted to find he has too much computer work to do to play with her. It takes so long for him to be finished in fact that she has a perfect revenge waiting for him. Not only is this a charming, bijou little story, wonderfully presented with bold illustrations, but it has a strong moral as well, of having patience for the good things in life. Perhaps it's true that the best things come to those who wait – and it may even be that they're better for the waiting. Either way, this is an ideal way to get that lesson taught.
