Mr Bear has never been babysitting before for the Grizzle- Bears, but he has to deputise for his wife when she has to stay at home because their own baby will not settle. Little does he know what awaits him, but he triumphs over adversity and all is well before the Grizzle- Bears return home. Debi Gliori has again managed to create a delightful story which together with her excellent illustrations make this a book which young children will enjoy.

Mr Bear Babysits is part of a series which includes Mr Bear's Picnic and Mr Bear to the Rescue. (Ages 3 and up) --Susan Naylor
