What is the bravest thing in the world? A brave bear, of course! And who is the best at helping a little bear be brave? His dad, of course!

"A truly lovely tale in celebration of daddy and baby bears, with gorgeous, warm illustrations." The Bookseller

In this joyful story about children and their parents from the author of Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise and the illustrator of Wild, a daddy bear and a baby bear spend a very special day together. It's as hot as hot can be, and Dad Bear says, "I think a pair of hot bears is probably the hottest thing in the world." So, Little Bear suggests that they go to the river to cool down.

But what will happen when Little Bear tries to impress his dad by doing a big jump across the rocks? The perfect present for Daddy Bears and Baby Bears alike, all readers will rejoice in the gorgeous characterisation, the warmth of the storytelling, and the deliciously detailed artwork of illustration star, Emily Hughes.
