It's Not Scribble to Me

Description

A warm and hilarious story about a cheeky little bear who's bursting with creativity. Have you ever had so many wonderful, wild and beautiful ideas that paper isn't enough to hold them all? Bear has. Upstairs and downstairs, outside and in, the whole house is covered in Bear's colourful art - even Bear's little sister. Can Bear convince her parents that she's creating more than just 'scribbles'? All families will relate to this funny story of toddler cheekiness and charm, written by Kate Ritchie, author of I Just Couldn't Wait to Meet You and illustrated by Jedda Robaard.
