Basil’s relaxing in the wonderful and a little quirky Hôtel de Nesle in Paris. This is his favourite hotel in Paris as it is bear friendly. Each of its rooms is decorated differently and you won’t find many places like it. 3rd April 2014
Brown Bear’s Big Day Out is a story about a bear in a zoo that puts on a disguise so that he can escape and visit a funfair called Dizzyland. It’s about looking at people in depth and not being afraid because they look different from you. So Basil looks like a man when disguised but is still the same friendly and hero bear in this case once his disguise slips.
The story contains illustrations throughout the text. These are then repeated at the back of the printed book so that younger children can colour them in. One of them can be seen below.
