What Makes This Collection Special:
At the heart of this collection is a cohesive world built by Jane Hissey's charming Old Bear aesthetic. Each book stays true to a gentle, playful tone while teaching a core skill—alphabet, color, math, or geometry—so children can progress naturally from one concept to the next. Collectively, the six titles create a binge-reading journey that rewards repetition and familiarity, making them ideal for stocking-fillers, birthdays, or first libraries. The colors, textures, and characterful scenes invite interaction, conversation, and questions from little readers, turning learning into a shared activity for parents, grandparents, or carers. The set is not just six stories; it's a complete, confidence-building learning kit in a single, beautifully packaged collection.
Books Included in This Collection:
Little Bear's Alphabet
Little Bear's Alphabet introduces letters through playful, tactile scenes and simple captions. A is for Animals, B is for Box, C is for Cake—each page invites young readers to connect letters with objects from everyday life. The text pairs with softly drawn, cozy illustrations of Little Bear and friends, making letter recognition feel like an adventure rather than a lesson. This title sets a gentle foundation for early literacy as children point to pictures, trace shapes, and begin to anticipate what comes next. The familiar Old Bear world invites repeated reading, conversation, and letter memory that supports preschool learning and home schooling routines.
Little Bear's Bedtime Night
Little Bear's Bedtime Night follows Little Bear as the day ends and bedtime begins. Bathing, brushing, and pulling on snug pyjamas lead to a warm goodnight kiss and a final cuddle. The story is a soothing routine immersion—perfect for establishing a comforting bedtime ritual. The soft, pillowy feel of the pages and the gentle rhythm of the text invite a calm, cozy reading experience that can ease little ones toward sleep while reinforcing language and sequencing skills.
Little Bear's Colours
Little Bear's Colours takes young readers through a bright, busy day as Little Bear wakes, plays, paints, and explores color in action. From red toys to blue skies, the simple color names become a visual game to identify hues in the world around them. Jane Hissey's art wraps these learning moments in a warm, nostalgic look, making color learning feel like an adventure in a beloved nursery.
Little Bear's Day
Little Bear's Day follows a typical day in Little Bear's world, from morning wake-up to afternoon rest. Children see him greet friends, play, eat, and learn through everyday activities. The narrative rhythm supports early memory and sequencing, while visuals reinforce language around routines, actions, and time, making the flow of a day feel friendly and easy to grasp for budding readers.
Little Bear's Numbers
Little Bear's Numbers invites counting from 1 to 10 with playful details: 1 lonely sock; 2 skis on Rabbit's feet; 3 bears—and 3 naughty toys jumping on the bed. Counting with familiar objects builds one-to-one correspondence and number sense in a warm, non-intimidating setting. The cheerful scenes and bright pencils provide plenty of chances to point, count aloud, and reinforce early arithmetic in a fun, memorable way.
Little Bear's Shapes
Little Bear's Shapes turns geometry into a playful scavenger hunt. The toys are cutting out square windows; Hoot has stars on her apron; Ruff's birthday cake is a cube. This book invites children to spot shapes in everyday scenes, name them, and begin to understand how they fit together in space. The interactive approach nurtures curiosity, vocabulary, and early spatial reasoning without ever feeling like a drill.
