Full of tenderness, this shows the aspirations of a baby bear who wants to do all kinds of exciting things. But this baby bear has also to learn from its loving mother that being a kind and loving person is every bit as important. A cosy book to share.

I Love My Mummy, written by Giles Andreae and illustrated by Emma, won the Booktrust award in 2010. Among Emma’s favourite things in life are surfing with her kids, punctuality and Scrabble. Things she cannot abide include heights, pate and children who complain that they are bored. ‘How can you ever be bored,’ she says, ‘when you can always draw a picture?’ Emma lives in Surrey.
