Ryan Cochane brings us another delightful Nana Scrappy story.  It's beautifully illustrated by Diana Dementeva. Nana's household is full of commotion from Christmas preparations. But mischievous Mortimer Mouse is on the loose. 

If you like dogs, squirrels, guinea pigs, visits to Nana, Christmas stories, and treasure maps you will enjoy reading this tale. It's entirely suitable for Grand Paw-rents to read aloud to grand dawgs and young dawgs to read to each other.

I talk about the organisation Free the Bears, and its founder Mary Hutton, and do a few quick quotes from the book Free the Bears by Mary Hutton and Julie Miller

Frilly feels small, confused and scared. She even ran away from Love. She decides to learn courage by going on a quest. Mawson tries to help and offers her a dashing steed and shield and sword. But Frilly’s quest is a quiet one. She wants to find herself. Equipped with her pink exploring bag and a selection of hats, she sets off into the wide world. Sometimes, those who go alone and quietly, simply seeking to be their best, are going on the grandest quest of all.

When you feel lost, alone and left behind, can you ever find again the brightness in your world? Everyone wants to be cherished by their special someone. But how do you go on when, for whatever reason, they are no longer with you. Mawson explores that almost inexpressible feeling of Lost-ness. A gentle little story about love, loss, and renewal of hope, told simply with pictures of teddy bears.
