Down The Rabbit HoleBears with Hannah Gold and Sophy HennPack your marmalade sandwiches, because this week we're going on a bear hunt - and we're NOT scared.
Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear, and Sophy Henn, writer and illustrator of Where Bear? join Sam on a quest through the rabbit hole's bookshelves to find the best bears in children's fiction. Along the way, we discover why bears are especially good animals to draw in picture books, hear the unexpectedly horrific origin story of the teddy bear, and try to work out why bears are so over-represented in the bookshop menagerie.
