The Bears' Bazaar
I'm not enthusiastic about busy bears all dressed up and lots of pictures on the pages... it's much too fussy and confusing for the small child. However, my Nursery Nurse students enjoyed the book because it's full of things to make! There's a recipe for Gingerbread Bears and Mustard Men, instruction on making paper dolls . . . good ideas, in fact, for people about to be working with children. But I'm not so sure it's suitable for the children themselves.
