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.
