Two Bears and Joe
Jan Ormerod
The creation that emerges from two such luminous talents is bound to challenge and Two Bears and Joe is a book that will need a bit of mediating to make it accessible to all children. For my money though it is a 'must' for all young children in this world of instant visual entertainment on tap, where using the imagination is fast becoming an endangered activity for some. This books allows children to share in Joe's fantasy day with two bears that can only be seen by him. Hopefully some of the infants who shared the book with me so uncomprehendingly on the first reading will now try to generate their own fantasies.
