Bears



Yesterday the postman brought me the French edition of The Icebear. Once again the French publisher has printed the book 25% larger and the simple increase in size is astonishing. I do wish the UK publisher would look and realise how this would make the book stand out above the crowd in British bookshops.

  3. Can't wait to get my copy.
    You never know you might be able to persuade the UK publisher. Have a go, get some evidence together :)

  4. Another BEAUTIFUL book, Jackie! You must be so proud (and a bit relieved as well, to have Ice Bear in the hands of children)... we are proud of you, too.

  5. People always think of books as gifts, but I have a friend who has a special shelf of "read to me" books her nieces and nephews, and now her grandchildren, can choose from when they come to visit. Too good an idea not to share.
