HOPS, BOPS AND RYE
Monday 28th May - 10am-4pm Worsbrough Mill and Country Park
are safe and cuddly. They don’t all eat marmalade sandwiches, befriend little toy pigs or wear checked trousers. Some are based on real life ursine, the ferocious and majestic beasts that roam the lands.
Or the Lords of the Arctic, polar bears, which feature heavily in Nick Singer’s Island; a story about the risks of animal extinction based on human actions.
And how can we forget the Three Bears who have become a fairytale feature since 1837. Discover how Robert Southey’s original story has developed overtime, turning his old, haggard Silver Hair into the Goldilocks we all know. Remember – the bears are the good guys, its Goldilocks who steals their porridge and breaks their furniture.
See how Michael Rosen wanted the family to react in We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. Do you think Helen Oxenbury took his annotated scribbles to depict emotion as they ran home scared?
Read more about factual-based characters such as the crescent- chest Asian black bear which inspired Gill Lewis to write Moon Bear, an upsetting and educational tale about the gall bladder milking trade in South East Asia.
Throughout the exhibition there will be lots of family friendly activities to take part in, with regular story times, a celebration for the birthday of one of the bears in residence – Paddington - as well as a teddy bears’ picnic where people can bring along their much loved furry companions.
From very young children who love reading time to older, independent readers who get lost in the magic of a story, Bears! is great for all ages and it would be unbearable to miss it.
