The My Friend the Bear series is based on simplicity, using-repetitive words and an overlapping effect of words and sentences, to help children begin to recognise familiar words and sentences. There is a lyrical quality and great rhythm when the words are read out loud, which will enable children to remember the story. Questions have been put in place to encourage memory and listening skills, and children learn to look through the book to find and answer the questions. Showing them these skills helps prepare them for school. The simple and clear illustrations work in conjunction with the story. Having a bear as the main character brings a warm and friendly nature to the book while delivering an important message. Being active, eating healthy, looking after personal needs such as brushing teeth and having a bath, shows young children that looking after themselves is important. My Friend the Bear is a delightful book and series that would appeal to toddlers, preschool aged children and early readers. "The illustrations in the book are beautiful. The story is a great page-turner and is very clear and easy to read. The children really enjoy answering the questions." -Kay Harling (Director Emerald Preschool & Community Kindergarten, B. Ed Early Childhood.) "Children listened well and were quiet during the reading of the book which is a good indication that the story is written for the right age group, 3 to 5 year olds. I liked the idea of questions, this showed comprehension skills, as the children did well answering the questions." - Katrina Baillie (Kindergarten Teacher, B. Ed Early Childhood.)

Two stories…Two destines…Two different battles … Who could have foreseen that life would push Lois into the arms of rich playboys and almost throw her to the threshold of becoming a call girl at an escort agency? Who could have expected this all-consuming conflict between dream and reality that would force Jane into a fight with the circumstances even with the one who had already stole her heart? At the very rare and few moments that her senses were alert and logic prevailed, she could see clearly and understood the dead end road she was heading to. These precious moments offered her a final chance to get out of this mess and run away. Would she take it?? Life does not stop playing its games. And a happy ending does not always come as a win in the lottery. Read these stories, where everything leads to one very question: Is it possible to overcome an unexpected?
