One day something amazing happens. A bear drops out of the sky into Sophie"s playpen! At first, Sophie"s big brother thinks it"s a teddy bear. But then it grabs Sophie"s drink and biscuit. All kinds of hilarious adventures ensue, during which the bear is rather naughty, and Sophie gets the blame. Then the bear is discovered helping himself to a noisy, messy midnight feast. The next day "a serious man in a serious hat" comes to look at him. But the surprises don"t end there for Sophie and her brother. Or, indeed, for YOU. This unsurpassable book is funnier, wackier and safer than having a real, live bear in your house. Honest. (Age 3 and over) --Lisa Gee
