You see everywhere books for adults written as if they were for children or children’s books teaching adults how to master life , with speaking pigs, whispering horses, walking dogs. I confess I was sort of prejudiced against stories about a flying bear but I have to say that right after reading the first lines I had the feeling I was reading something different. Baxterbear was not teaching anything to me: I was learning with him. That’s the big difference. Baxterbear is the ideal friend for someone who wants to brush up their English, learn in a funny way what a sundowner is and at the same time travel the world with a flying bear and experience new cultures! I am constantly on the move and even though I always have my laptop and my blackberry with me, reminding me of the tons of things I have to do, I find myself browsing at airport bookshops looking for light but not stupid entertainment¦ and I would grab Baxterbear’s stories without hesitating! And if I had children, they would read these stories too, but only after I’m done with them!
