In this delightful bedtime story, a young bear tells his mother all
about his exciting day - in reverse - inspiring young listeners/readers
to do the same. This is a charming bedtime story with an interactive experience sure to have parents and children
sharing their own day - backwards - with each other. It is ideal bedtime
reading. It includes gorgeous
illustrations featuring the most emotively expressive bears, whose
enjoyment, exhilaration, excitement and concern all really leap off the
page.
Just before going to bed, Timmy Bear and his mother play a game they call Tell Me the Day Backwards. Timmy tries to remember everything that happened to him that day in reverse order, from watching the sunset on the hill to the picnic supper before that, from being chased by bees to finding honey in an old tree trunk, all the way back to waking up that morning from his winter-long hibernation.
Albert Lamb has worked as a cartoonist, a musician and a writer; Tell Me the Day Backwards is his second book for children. Born in the US in Boston, Massachusetts, he now lives in Gloucestershire.
