Bear and Bird are two friends who love discovering the world around them. In their first adventure together, they discover reflection. Every morning Bear waves to another bear in his bathroom as he brushes his teeth. (‘He’s always here every morning, just at the same time as I am,’ Bear told Bird.) Bird wants a friend that looks just like him as well, so the pair go in search of a friend for bird.

This is a delightful early learning story with the gentle humour and evocative artwork of Ann James.
