About The Book

A mischievous Bear

At Christmas time, Jack and Tilly receive the most unexpected gift of all. It is a soft golden retriever puppy which soon gets the name Bear. The curious nature of Bear leads to a lot of laughter, learning, and gentle mischief in the family. Surrounded by caring parents, friends and relatives dropping by, happy meals, birds that are friendly, and a puppy mate Ralph, Bear’s first days are warm and magical. A Mischievous Bear is a touching kids’ story about family, friendship, growing up, and the delightful turmoil a puppy generates.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

My three-year-old asked for Bear again before bedtime even finished. The story feels like real family life, just funnier. We laughed at the toilet roll mess, then talked about kindness and listening. Sweet, simple, and perfect for repeat reads.

A Mischievous Bear lands beautifully with ages three to six. Short scenes, clear language, and big warmth. The kids loved spotting Bear’s naughty choices, and I loved how it gently nudges family values without preaching. It’s a classroom win and a home win.

This book has that rare mix: giggles plus heart. Bear’s mischief is relatable, the family moments feel cosy, and the outdoor vibe is lovely. Parents keep asking for dog stories that are safe, kind, and fun. This one delivers.

We read it on a rainy afternoon, and it turned into a full family event. Everyone had a favourite moment, especially the underwear theft. The best part is the message underneath the laughs: family time matters. A cheerful book you want to reread.

I swear this Bear is my dog in a book. The mischief feels real, not mean, and it captures that puppy joy perfectly. My nephew loved the funny parts, and I loved the gentle reminder to enjoy the outdoors together. Pure feel-good reading.

Bear is the kind of character kids instantly trust. The story keeps them smiling, but it also opens easy chats about boundaries, helping at home, and being brave. It’s warm, Aussie, and very child friendly. A lovely start to a series.
