A new friend arrives in the playroom in this timeless bedtime classic from Jane Hissey's BAFTA award-winning series, Old Bear and Friends!
When a strange package arrives in the nursery, everyone is puzzled. What on earth could it be? Little Bear is sure it's full of treasure, but Duck has his doubts. 'It's probably empty,' he grumbles. But when the box speaks back, it is clear that something much more exciting than treasure is inside...
Heartfelt humour and nostalgia beam from every page in this touching tale of jolly giraffes, new friends and exciting surprises. Jane Hissey's best-selling Old Bear and Friends series is packed with creativity, vintage illustrations and laughter. Her teddy-bear tales of adventure have continued to captivate the imaginations of children for decades.
Jane studied illustration at art college, and was taught by Raymond Briggs before becoming an Art teacher herself. She has three grown up children; Owen, Alison and Ralph, and lives in East Sussex with her husband Ivan, who is also an illustrator.
