Overview

The third book about gorgeous toddler bear, Humber, and his family. From the highly-regarded creator of Blue Kangaroo and Melrose and Croc. Humber likes his little sister Plum – but not all the time, especially when she takes his things. “It’s not fair!” he tells Mum, but when he takes matters into his own hands, Humber goes a ittle bit too far… Humber and Plum’s world is immediately engaging – funny and poignant – full of joy and tantrums, but above all, completely familiar to young toddlers and their parents.
