"Bear was walking in the forest. Suddenly…" What happens next? Winners of the children’s competition featured in The Sun decide…
Children’s Laureate, Anthony Browne, has collaborated with budding author-illustrators, aged 8 and under, to create an exciting and unique picture book – combining Anthony’s character – the bear with the magic pencil – with art and stories from the winning entries.
Wherever Bear goes he takes his magic pencil with him. If ever he has a problem he just draws his way out of trouble – whatever he draws becomes real . . .

Working with The Sun team, Anthony has selected the best ideas, and used them to create the rest of the story. The result is this fabulous picture book!
