Jez Alborough looks sort of sleazy but not quite sleazy enough, IMO. I find his books curiously off-putting, too.

I do see Bear Bloke was a nutter, really, SL...

SorenLorensen · 15/02/2006 14:55

OK, MI - he didn't deserve to be eaten, but he should have expected to be eaten. The fact that he didn't (expect to be eaten), and lived in a little tent in the middle of a load of hungry bears means he was a nutter.

I rest my case.

Don't know about being compared to cod though - should I be flattered or insulted In my defence, I haven't left the house in days and I am slowly losing my mind. In fact I'm thinking of taking the tent and pitching it in amongst some big old bears...

hmmm, not bad. I spent bloody ages thinking about him as I read the book, that is for sure

Jez Albrough

Who I have always thought of as being strangly hunky and attractive

Please don't shatter the illusion if you know better

madmarchhare · 15/02/2006 14:51

No rhymes but Whatever Next and Peace at Last are fabbo bear books.

Oooh martianbishop, I love Where's my teddy, and Peepo.
The first time I read Peepo to DS1 (many moons ago) I also cried at the end, "mother with a baby, just like him", oooh filling up as I type. DH says I'm mad but at least I'm not the only one.
I love bear hunt, reading it to DS2 last night at the swimming pool (he has to watch lessons for an hour and is very good).
I always say the bear just wanted to play. DS fascinated by the way they take their shoes off, baby gets carried, dog swims etc.
Looooooove Axel and Julia of course, Room on Broom is my fave ("buzz off, that's my witch)

BearintheBigBlueHouse · 15/02/2006 14:44

LOL at Hairy McArsey - at least that's how I read it.

My Nan had that mirror too, and while I won't admit to blubbing, I do have nice memories when I see that page.

What about the Bear Want's More/Stays Up/Snores On books - they rhyme well and they're about a bear - literary gold.

Oh, and the holes. Ooo, hungry caterpillar..

Blandmum · 15/02/2006 14:37

When I read the line '...the mirror with its rainbow rim,
and his mother with a baby,
Just like him'

I filled up with tears. My gran had a mirror just like that. I'm a soppy cow

madmarchhare · 15/02/2006 14:35

Now Peepo rhymes and has good pictures.
