The Everywhere Bear

Product Information

One of the things I appreciate most is that each child is different. There are a variety of characters to relate to, each with differing appearance and hobbies. I really like that the Everywhere Bear gets to play with each of his friends differently. The text features a lot of rhyming which makes the story quite fun and I feel like it's very encouraging to try new things. Hope you have fun finding all the different objects. Stay safe and hope you enjoy spending time having fun with your families over the next 2 weeks. Week 3's planning will be up on Monday 20th April. Remember you are all superstars!

Funnily enough, I find it harder to write not in verse, though I feel I am now getting the hang of it! My novel THE GIANTS AND THE JONESES is going to be made into a film by the same team who made the Harry Potter movies, and I have written three books of stories about the anarchic PRINCESS MIRROR-BELLE who appears from the mirror and disrupts the life of an otherwise ordinary eight-year-old. I have just finished writing a novel for teenagers. It’s hard to beat a Julia Donaldson picture book adaptation, especially when that book is illustrated by the amazing Rebecca Cobb. At the Polka Theatre this summer, Peter Glanville and Julian Butler have gloriously hit the mark with their delightful stage version of The Everywhere Bear. Overall, I really enjoyed it. It's a lovely little story with literal highs and lows. I'm sure that any child will love this! Absolutely! It's a beautiful children's book with gorgeous illustrations and I'm sure all children will enjoy it!My real breakthrough was THE GRUFFALO, again illustrated by Axel. We work separately - he’s in London and I’m in Glasgow - but he sends me letters with lovely funny pictures on the envelopes. A scavenger hunt around your house, can you find 1 or 2 items beginning with each letter that is in the words HAPPY EASTER? There are a number of wonderfully crafted puppets in the production, skilfully manipulated by Johnson and Bruce and designed and made by Jan Zalud. From Matt and EB, to a cheeky seagull, a satisfied cat and a scampering mouse, they bring the aesthetic of the book truly alive onstage and add extra levels of delightful characterisation and vitality to the show.

This is a weeks unit of work around The Everywhere Bear. By the end of the week, the children will write their own alternative part of the story. Welcome to the home school learning experience. Every week I will be putting a weekly plan on here for you to complete so that you can continue your learning while school is closed. There is a literacy and a maths activity every day and a topic activity once a week. One of my television songs, A SQUASH AND A SQUEEZE, was made into a book in 1993, with illustrations by the wonderful Axel Scheffler. It was great to hold the book in my hand without it vanishing in the air the way the songs did. This prompted me to unearth some plays I’d written for a school reading group, and since then I’ve had 20 plays published. Most children love acting and it’s a tremendous way to improve their reading. The perfect book to read aloud and introduce a class bear at the start of a new year. I have heard this book read to both a Nursery/Foundation and Class One/Two group and it was met with equal enthusiasm.

What a lovely book! Gorgeous illustrations and rhyming throughout, the story of a classroom teddy bear is a delight. As a class teacher and parent I thoroughly enjoyed sharing this with my year 1 class and my own little boy! I also continued to write “grown-up” songs and perform them in folk clubs and on the radio, and have recently released two CDs of these songs. The Everywhere Bear is a gentle story about a class of children who take home a toy bear each weekend and share photos of their fun times together. One of my grandchildren was very into vehicles and machinery at the time, so with that in mind I included a crane, a boat, a crane and a vehicle for painting stripes on the road in my teddybear’s adventures. We will also be preparing for our Saint David's Day Eisteddfod. We will be exploring Welsh castles, traditional food, danceandstories!
