Bear Worries - by Natalia Shaloshvili
This companion title to Natalia Shaloshvili’s award-winning book Bear is a funny and comforting take on how to cope with constant worrying. With a little help from his friend Duck, Bear finds that even when his biggest (cookie-related!) worries do come true, it’s not the end of the world. At first, Bear is happily munching his cookie, until a thought creeps in: what if it’s the last cookie? When this turns out to be true, he sets off for the shops – and his worries mount and mount.
He worries about missing the bus . . .
and it leaves without him. He worries he’ll get lost . .
. and gets lost. By the time he finds the cookie queue, he’s at the very back; and his worst worry comes true.
The very last cookie goes . . .
to Duck!
