An exciting new laugh-out-loud picture book from Sam Copeland, the bestselling author of Charlie Changes into a Chicken, and Pippa Curnick, creator of the award-winning Indigo Wilde series.

Meet Ivor, a little boy in a big world, who absolutely, categorically, definitely does NOT like any sort of attention. So it's more than a minor catastrophe for Ivor to discover on his very first day of school that he has a great big . . .

BEAR BEHIND!

And as the bumbling bear begins to cause chaos and calamity, Ivor's hope for a normal first day at school quickly fades . . .

A hilarious, larger-than-life story to show little ones there's fun to be had when you leave your worries behind!
