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.
