Another somewhat entertaining story from Webb, who again engages and has more than a story with things to think about anf discuss as well as being entertained. Webb is very good at writing for younger readers.

I loved it.

[Simon Pedoe · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book. Somewhat of a fantasy more than the usual fictional type story.

[Brie Lau · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a good book but it is not really about the bear. It is more about football and pirate stuff. I think the bears are cute though!

Historia z morałem, ucząca, że każdy ma inny talent. Zabrakło rozwikłania zagadki. Zostaliśmy z niedosytem.

An easy read, banter between the father and children, good storyline!

[Wilde Sky · Rating 3 out of 5]

A young boy struggles to fit in at school and to get his dad (a single parent) to engage with him.

This was a quaint short story (for young children) that had good central themes (finding your own way in the world and looking after your family).

A lovely story for about siblings Ben & Cassie learning about the importance of being who you are and a father being reminded to spend quality time with his children. Grade 3+
