Bob's Easter Poem

I’m Bob the Bear, I’m so happy today,
Chocolate Easter eggs are coming my way!
Chicks are hatching and lambs being born,
Buds are bursting and so much more!
Birds are cheeping, babies learning to fly.
Spring is so beautiful, waving winter goodbye.
I can’t wait for my chocolate, maybe with honey inside,
I’ll eat it anyway, so I don’t really mind!

“This is the first book I have read by this author.

“I was originally drawn to this book by its gorgeous cover and the fact that I am a mum of three who love books especially picture ones.

“This book is such a charming book for children and adult’s alike. Amazon has placed the reading age from 3 years to 5 years old but I am 36 years old and I have 5 year old twin boys and a 10 year old son and we all loved reading/listening to Bob the bear’s adventures and looking at the beautiful and colourful photos. My children loved trying to find Bob the bear and laughing when he hid in silly places where they could spot him easily and my 10 year son enjoyed helping his brothers trying to find him. Bob the bear is absolutely adorable and we all loved his gorgeous blue waistcoat and his little glasses!! He looked like a little old bear enjoying his adventures! We also had lots of fun naming all the different things that the children could see in the photos and naming all the colours. It is a fantastic book and I would say it is suitable for any child from new-born up. unfortunately the weather has been awful here in Wales lately but during the summer I am going to take a bear into the garden and we will play along with bob the bear and I will hide the bear in the same or similar hiding places as Bob so this makes a great interactive book in the summer!! I think it is beautiful that the author Alice dedicated this book to her husband Bob who also wore glasses and loved wearing his waistcoats. What an absolutely beautiful dedication!! This book is lovely and short and can be a quick read or be made into a fun long read whichever the reader wishes. It would be a great book for children to be read to by their teachers in school who could also use the book as an adventure and make the story interactive using their own teddy bears! Bob’s hiding places were fun, silly and hilarious and I had a few giggles along with the children! I am looking forward to reading more books by Alice to my children and hope that she is busy writing and illustrating the next one already!

“My 10 year old son Malaki had this to say about this book:”

“I liked how Bob was hiding throughout the book it was a funny concept. of a bear playing hide and seek with the reader thanks to the author Alice it was one of my favourite books that I have read the pictures were AMAZING thank you soooooooo much 10/10.”

Congratulations Alice on a beautiful book filled with fun and exciting adventures! Here is to your next success 🥂

Overall a beautifully illustrated children’s book about the adventures that Bob the bear gets up to.

“What a charming, delightful story. Younger kids will enjoy pointing the bear out in each picture, and perhaps be inspired to do photo-shoots with their own favourite toy.”

“Bob the Bear’s Adventures is a cute, picture book with real photographs for children about a bear called Bob. This would make a cute story to share in a nursery/preschool classroom.”

“This looks and feels so much like a book a grandparent would have custom-made for their grandchild. It feels fresh and new, a change of pace from the typical classroom books. It’s also highly interactive, which is another good lure for young readers. I would definitely try this in my classroom.”

“Delightful and funny picture book for 1-5 year olds. Really had fun playing hide and seek with my 16 month old and trying to find Bob the Bear in the pictures. What also makes it special are the high quality photographs that fill the pages, something a little new and different for a picture book.

“Bob the bear plays hide and seek in Alice’s garden, this book is aimed at younger children but that doesn’t mean that adults and older children can’t enjoy this book.

As a mother of 2 children aged 9 and 7 they both enjoyed this book, the bright colourful pictures and bold writing made it easy for them both to read this book by themselves.

“An enjoyable tale where we follow Bob trying to hide from us on each page, some hiding places were much better than others! 

The pictures on each page were superb and we saw Bob’s adventures on each page.

This is a story for young children, I feel it would suit those up to around the age of 5. Although I have to admit that every page made me smile.

The story had a lovely dedication to the author’s husband too.

“Bob the Bear’s Adventures by Alice Chambers is a truly very lovely book.

Most young girls and boys have a teddy bear that they love, will be able to fall in love with this book all about a teddy bear!

Bob the Bear is so cute I now want a teddy bear just like Bob.

Children are in for a real treat. Bob is so funny playing every child’s favourite game of hide and seek, with every time Bob hides, he can be seen.

There’s a great question at the back of the book to find out how much children remember.

This is a fabulous illustrated colourful book. Bob the Bear’s Adventures is a big must for nursery schools and infant schools to read to the children as they will absolutely love it.”

“This is a lovely book and a joy to read. It’s filled with full-page photographs of Bob the Bear in all his hiding places – some good, others not so 🙂
Bob the Bear’s Adventures is an ideal story for little ones. I can imagine a parent sitting with their child/children at bedtime or just enjoying some quality time together, engaging in the funny antics of this adorable bear and seeing if they can find him hidden amongst the beautiful, colourful photographs.
I love how the book reads as though the reader is talking to Bob, the Bear. He is a charming and likeable character full of personality and charm. This is a quick and easy book to read and follow and perfect for a few fun moments with our children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews.”

“Bob the Bear’s Adventures by Alice Chambers was a lovely book, all about Bob the Bear who tries to hide in Alice’s garden but some of his places are good and some are hard for you to find him. But, Bob loves to climb high much more than hiding.

This maybe a small book but it was a joy to read with my nephew Oz, especially as I crocheted a bear with his several friends, so they can go on their own adventures. This book was a real treat, we had many adventures with Bob the farmer bear as Oz calls him now.

There was Lots of Laughter and smiles as I read this book out aloud with all the crochet Toys and other toys sitting with us listening to Bob’s Adventures, and who didn’t love playing hide n seek when they were small??!!!

This book was a real gem and a joy to read. Its full of beautiful full pages photographs of Bob the bear in all his hiding places which made this book so sweet. Plus, this got us all outside into the garden and to have our adventures with Bob and his friends.

This was a book that would be great for a parent, grandparent, auntie, uncle etc reading during the day or at bedtime or having quality time with a child etc. Plus, I found this book would be great at pre-school etc so you can all share your adventures with their favourite bear or toy.

I am looking forward reading more books about Bob the bears adventures
Plus, hearing all the adventures our Bob the farmer has had.

Moments with a small child is precious and so was this book! Thank you, Alice.”

Bob the Bear’s Adventures by Kindergarten manager & author Alice Chambers is a sweet new book about friendship and all the fun little ones can have in their garden.

Everyone loves hide and seek, especially with their teddy bear friends. This story will inspire young children to take their games outside and enjoy imaginative play. Every time Bob hides, they’ll love searching for him on the page while developing key vocabulary.

Bob the Bear loves hide and seek but unfortunately, he isn’t very good at it. No matter where he hides, he’s still visible – much like when preschoolers play. I’ll always remember my own daughter playing hide and seek with her grandpa and trying to hide behind a very narrow tree. He “looked and looked” for ages without finding her while she giggled away, thrilled with her brilliant hiding spot.

With simple, straight-forward text and colourful photographs, Bob the Bear’s Adventures is accessible for very young children. It would be perfect to share at a nursery or childcare setting when learning about games, fair play and the outdoors.

Thank you to Alice Chambers and Literally PR for this lovely book!
