A Waterstones Best Baby and Toddler Book of 2025
It’s Harry’s birthday, and all he wants is a bear of his own. When he steps into a magical shop full of teddy bears, he finds a hundred different kinds of bear to choose from – roundish bears and thinnish bears, woolly bears and shaggy bears; spotty bears and dotty bears, and stripy-on-their-botty bears!
But Harry is looking for a very special kind of bear. The kind of bear that he'll love for a lifetime. Will he get his heart's desire and find his Forever Bear?
From the bestselling author of The Littlest Yak comes a gorgeous, heartwarming story that is a modern classic in the making. Packed with beautiful wintery illustrations, it's an irresistible celebration of the bond we feel with our most special toys - perfect for reading on cold winter nights, and on cosy Christmas mornings!
