Following on from the success of The Bear in the Cave comes Bear Flies High. This time Bear decides that he wants to learn to fly after looking at the seagulls swirling above him, and so he and his four little friends head for the funfair in search of the experience of flight.
The format of the story is identical to the first Bear adventure, both in the way the narrative unfolds and in the structure of the rhythmic text. At least one Bear story is a must for any nursery, but I'm not sure that a second is a necessary addition to the book corner.
