With its gnarled trunk, giant branches and glossy leaves, Grand Old Oak is Bear’s favourite tree in the woodland. In this video story, Bear learns that Oak is five hundred years old and decides to plan an extra-special birthday ball.
Part of the Brown Bear Wood series, this first poetry storybook follows Bear and friends through the seasons as they prepare the magical party. Children can pause the video to talk about the illustrations, spot woodland details, and enjoy the playful text together.
With bright, engaging artwork and gentle rhymes, Grand Old Oak and the Birthday Ball is easy to enjoy again and again. It is ideal for children who enjoy imaginative stories about nature, animals, and forests.
