New Illustrated Book Charms Readers With Amusing Animal Tales

 
COLCHESTER, England –

     Author Patricia Toulson follows the adventures and misadventures of a delightful group of animal friends in her new book, Tales of Mr. Bear & His Friends.

     In the first tale, Mr. Bear is a friendly but naughty bear with a big appetite.  When he concocts a sneaky scheme to have each of his friends bring him a cake, the results are disastrous. A series of sweets shows up at his doorstep, ranging from a chocolate cake with sprinkles on top to a marshmallow cake topped with jellybeans. But will the clever Mr. Bear be able to digest all the goodies that come his way?

     In another story, Scotty the Dog just wants to dig a hole for his bone, but he keeps digging in all the wrong places. But when he digs in his friends’ yards, he becomes a problem.

Then suddenly he heard some shouting,

“That’s where my new grass seed is sprouting!

Scotty the Dog, you can’t dig there!”

Once more poor Scotty jumped high in the air.

“You must find somewhere else!” growled Mr. Bear.

     Stories about Laura the Lamb, Tabby the Cat and Mrs. Hare round out Patricia’s collection of tales.

     Patricia’s stories are accompanied by full-colour illustrations created by the author herself, and when coupled with her charming rhyme scheme, Tales of Mr. Bear and Friends is sure to become a favourite for children of all ages.

     Patricia is married with two sons, three grandchildren and several great-nephews and nieces. She was employed for many years by a charity that supported families with children under the age of five. During that time, she discovered a love for children’s stories. “Children’s favourite stories contain elements of someone else’s naughtiness, forgetfulness or even disappointment, but of course everything comes out well by the end,” Patricia says. She hopes that her book will encourage participation in reading by children, and hopes that they will find the little surprises she has left for them in each illustration.
