Albert is grumpy. He doesn't like any of the things the rest of us do. Like picnics. Or fishing. Or singing. But he LOVES a bubble bath. Don't we all?

Well that was kind of the problem, the forest animals loved it too. I'm not surprised because it was an absolute beauty of a bubbly bathtub. It even has a floating tray to put his tea and biscuits on. (I want one of those!).

Of course grumpy Albert was not a good sharer. He tried everything to keep the animals at bay. But when he gets himself into hot water, and needs a helping hand, the forest animals come to his rescue.

A beautiful book full of humour and heart, perseverance and problem solving. And of course, kindness. Just don't touch the duck!

Albert is a grumpy bear and he doesn't like a lot of things. He doesn't enjoy picnics, or fishing, and he especially loathes singing around the campfire. But there is one thing he likes a lot. Bubble baths. The only problem is that the other animals in the forest like bubble baths too, and he can't seem to enjoy his in peace and quiet.

Will one mishap too many mean that Albert might finally have to share?
