What is Scaredy Bear about?

Little Bob is determined to find the monster hiding in the forest. But when he discovers a very frightened bear instead, his adventure takes an unexpected turn. The bear is too scared to help with the hunt, so Little Bob gently encourages him to be brave. Together, they explore the woods, face surprising sounds and discover that things are not always as frightening as they seem. A warm, reassuring story about friendship, courage and overcoming fears.
