A delicious new treat from the brilliant Mini Grey, creator of Egg Drop and The Pea and the Princess.

When Horace bakes a biscuit in the shape of a bear, little does he know that his edible treat is going to turn into Biscuit Bear! For in the middle of the night, when all is quiet, that is exactly what happens, and Biscuit Bear decides that it is time he made some friends of his own. So, with flour, sugar and butter he does just that. In fact, he makes a whole circus of friends and the fun begins . . .

Reviews for Biscuit Bear

In this charming tale told from the biscuit's point of view, Mini Grey creates a hugley satisfying night world where fear can be seen off and a biscuit can change its chances in life - The Guardian Enjoyable as much for the witty innocence of the pictures as the barking-mad originality of the prose - The Independent Mini Grey. one of the brightest new stars on the picture-book scene, seems to be incapable of producing a dull word or picture... Grey's text is beautifully matched by her clever visual jokes and inventive changes of perspective - Financial Times Mini Grey is one of the rising stars of children's illustration. Biscuit Bear... is visually scrumptious, a flavoursome mix of wit and skill - The Sunday Times A star turn - The Observer An original and amusing story that will have immense appeal for both children and adults... a beautifully-presented, engaging and funny book, which can't fail to be a hit with children everywhere - Booktrusted News. A totally original and highly entertaining new picture story by a talented author-artist - Northern Echo This is an outrageously quirky tale - Junior A truly scrumptious picture book with all the right ingredients; sophisticated, surreal and wonderfully anarchic - Books for Keeps
