It was a sleepy dark night. A creepy dark night. A night for naughty bears to creep downstairs. Horace and William need biscuits to make them brave. But can they get to the kitchen? Can they make it past the tick-tock, past the bob-bob, past – “the thing”.
Go back to his chin and trace over his greeny-blue pyjama jacket. It has a collar and three bumps down the middle. What are they I wonder ? That's right, they are his red jacket buttons. To the right of the top button, is a pocket. Feel round his pyjama trousers. They are greeny-blue too. On his feet he is wearing his monster face browny-red slippers. Can you find them? They are both facing outwards.
Now, we'll turn to his little toy bear William. Do you take a bear or cuddly toy to bed with you? It makes you feel nice and safe, doesn't it.
Run your fingers over William Bear.
