My Dad is a Grizzly Bear
A playful, warm and funny story following a boy with a wild imagination and his lively family, from brand new creative duo: Swapna Haddow and Dapo Adeola.
Shhh.
Beware.
My dad is a grizzly bear…
In this family, it’s just possible that Dad is a grizzly bear . . . He has fuzzy fur, enormous paws and loves the outdoors. He sleeps a lot, even in the cinema and when he’s awake, he’s always hungry, usually eating up all the honey. What else could Dad possibly be?
A hilarious debut picture book written by Swapna Haddow, author of the award-winning Dave Pigeon series and illustrated by the very talented Dapo Adeola.
