When a big bear called Dave is least expecting it, the ‘eyebrows of doom’ leap onto his face, making him appear a little bit more grumpy than usual. While Dave is usually friendly, caring and gentle, the eyebrows give him the strong urge to do something extremely unkind. This hilarious picture book then uncovers the many nasty tricks and schemes that unfold as a result of these menacing ‘slug-like’ brows. But the eyebrows don’t stop at Dave the bear. They continue to move between many different suspects, causing multiple acts of mischief!

Expect children to be in hysterics over tricks involving frightening campers, smearing ice cream and covering people in poop (yes, you read it right!). This is an original and slightly anarchic concept that also explores the positives of teamwork and community problem-solving. At the end of the tale, the animals work together to get rid of the eyebrows, so they can get back to their peaceful afternoon. But have the eyebrows really gone forever..?

This is a highly entertaining young children’s book, which can be enjoyed by all members of the family. It is a hoot to read aloud to enjoy over and over again.
