It's Harry's birthday, and all he wants is a bear of his own. When he steps into a magical shop full of teddy bears, he finds a hundred different kinds of bear to choose from - roundish bears and thinnish bears, woolly bears and shaggy bears; spotty bears and dotty bears, and stripy-on-their botty bears! But Harry is looking for a very special kind of bear. The kind of bear that he'll love for a lifetime. Will he get his heart's desire and find his Forever Bear?
Lu Fraser worked for many years in children's brand licensing before heading off to the country to start scribbling children's books in her wonky hut at the end of the garden. She is an incredibly exciting new picture book talent and The Viking Who Liked Icing is the first of four books contracted with Bloomsbury.
Lu lives in Hampshire with her husband and young daughter.
