Home, Where Our Story Begins

A little bear wanders through the forest, discovering the different places animals call home before returning to a cosy cave of his own. Peep-through openings reveal the life around him, while lyrical words give the journey a reassuring rhythm. Patricia Hegarty and Britta Teckentrup connect the wonder of natural habitats with the comforting idea of belonging somewhere, making this an inviting read for quiet shared moments.

Age suitability and learning: Baby & toddler (0-2), Preschool (3-5). Rhythm and repeated language help younger listeners join in, while primary readers can explore the words and pictures more closely. Reading aloud supports listening, sound awareness and expressive speech; following the story encourages recall and talking about what happens next.
