Book Synopsis

Join the fun of the fair as bickering best friends learn to share and compromise in this hilarious rhyming story about friendship.

From the talented duo behind the critically-acclaimed The Cat and the Rat and the Hat and The Goat and the Stoat and the Boat.

Hare and Bear are at the fair, but Bear does NOT like rides that swirl and twirl and Hare does NOT like rides that go bump and thump. Will the two friends ever find something they BOTH like?

Step this way for rib-tickling, tongue-twisting fun where friendship always comes first!

Our Review Panel says...

The superbly clever, laugh-out-loud rhyming book is sure to be another hit in the classroom. It’s brilliant to have books that make exploring phonics and spelling patterns so much fun. They’re great for reading for pleasure too.

Following on from The Cat and the Rat and the Hat, and The Goat and the Stoat and the Boat, The Bear and the Hare and the Fair cleverly combines phase 5 phonics with hilarious antics. As the title suggests, Hare persuades Bear from the chair in his lair and off they head to the fair. They tempt each other with different rides and seem to have rather different tastes! But do Bear and Hare dare to go on the rollercoaster?!

With hilarious illustrations, joyous rhymes and great onomatopoeia too, this one is lots of fun to read aloud and join in with.
