Bartholomew the bear has lots to learn about playing nicely with his new pet in this charming picture book about toddlerhood.
When George gives Bartholomew a little black kitten, he tells him to be gentle with her. "Nah," says Bartholomew. He wants to play. But the kitten is very small and Bartholomews games are very boisterous. This lively story about playing nicely will be enjoyed by very young children.
