Synopsis

The bestselling story that will help ease those starting school worries, with lots of laugh-out-loud moments to get little ones excited for school.

Meet Ivor, a little boy in a big world, who absolutely, categorically, definitely does NOT like any sort of attention. So it's more than a minor catastrophe for Ivor to discover on his very first day of school that he has a great big . . .

BEAR BEHIND!

And as the bumbling bear begins to cause chaos and calamity, Ivor's hope for a normal first day at school quickly fades . . .

From colouring name tags to storytime and dressing up, finding the toilet to making friends at play time, this will give readers a little taste of what to expect on their first day of school . . . just without the pesky Bear Behind!

A hilarious story that will encourage children to find their voice at school, written by Sam Copeland, bestselling author of Charlie Changes into a Chicken, and larger-than-life illustrations by Pippa Curnick, creator of the award-winning Indigo Wilde series.
