A book about meltdowns and bawling bards!
Bill Bear and his friends are staging a new play in their woodland theatre, The Glade, but when things go wrong, Bill throws a full-blown tantrum! Parents everywhere will identify with his friends as they try to calm him down and persuade him that the show must go on. With clever, engaging text by Louie Stowell and beautiful, detailed illustrations by Isobel Lundie, your little one will be absorbed by this gorgeous depiction of Bill the Bear and his forest home.
A gentle introduction to the concept of theatre, this book is split into three acts with a list of dramatis personae and a location map. Encourage your little reader's interest in the theatre with a page of fun facts about William Shakespeare, his plays, the Globe...
Louie Stowell started her career writing carefully-researched books about space, Ancient Egypt, politics and science but eventually lapsed into just making stuff up. She likes writing about dragons, wizards, vampires, fairies, monsters and parallel worlds.
She lives in London with her wife Karen, her dog Buffy and a creepy puppet that is probably cursed.
Isobel Lundie is a freelance illustrator living in Worthing with her boyfriend and sneezy cat Banshee. She spends most of her time drawing characters and writing books that she never quite finishes. When she's not working, she spends her time playing netball with her team or taking down her brother's Just Dance skills.
