There's a Bear on My Chair

Product Information

Our bespoke Sheepskin Bear Chairs are tailored from the highest-quality sheepskin, sourced largely from British flocks. This children’s chair has a smiling bear backrest in yellow, which will have kids rushing to sit down in it first. It’s such a simple idea, playing on a feeling that most children will recognise: the very specific sense of impotent frustration that is felt when someone else is sitting on a chair you know, but cannot exactly prove, is ‘yours’. Although apparently a prolific illustrator - according to the dust-jacket blurb, he has illustrated over one hundred books for children - There's a Bear on My Chair is the first title from Ross Collins that I have read. De muis en de beer zijn ook heel expressief getekend, zodat je bijvoorbeeld kan zien aan de gelaatsuitdrukkingen van de muis wanneer hij boos, triest.

The illustrations are simple and colorful, with easy to "read" expressions And, there is a funny surprise ending. Take one gorgeously indignant (almost apoplectic) mouse, one (almost unfeasibly) laid back bear and that (Almost Entirely Only) One Rhyme and what you get is a picture book that reads with breathless ease: an object lesson not only in rhyming repetition, but visual repetition within which there is to be found a riot of variety of colour, expression, mood and character interplay.

It’s all from the Mouse’s perspective, but the expressions of the Bear tell their own separate story… A fun book to read and share, that also offers a lot to talk about, from what’s going on in the pictures to the Mouse’s frustration with the bear – and the funny twist at the end!

I am a tiger,” declares the main character of this story – although anyone looking at the pictures would probably say they are actually a mouse! Mouse tries nudging, glaring, bribing, and even scaring, but Bear is very relaxed and comfortable in the chair and seems to be completely oblivious to Mouse’s increasing frustration.

Collins is trying to show, by the mouse eventually needing something from the bear, that we must treat others as we would wish to be treated. The large, expressive illustrations and the Seuss-like rhyming text make this a fun book to read aloud. This rhyming story is very simply and effectively told with a balance of straightforward language and some stretch words and fun describing words.

While the mouse drives himself insane trying to get the bear out of his chair, the bear just smirks at him with the confidence of someone not used to comeuppance - though the grin disappears from his face on the last page when the mouse gets his revenge! Collins does do a lovely job of keeping the attention to detail on the mouse and the bear and the use of position and size throughout works so well - especially the spread where the bear heads back to his home but I think I have read a lot of recent picturebooks which look at humorous play and rhyme with animals that this may have been one too much for me. Frequently the animals play instruments and can be incorporated into climbing trees, holding benches or begging as part of the Black Forest furniture.The continuous use of rhyme throughout the story makes it a really fun read, and I love the characters.
