Author:Christopher Wormell
One day a small scruffy bear meets six terrified white mice; they're scared of the dark forest and all the predatory creatures that live there, including an owl, a fox and a slithery snake. . . . But never fear, Scruffy Bear has all kinds of ingenious ideas about how to keep them safe!
Despite his name, Scruffy actually looks like a rather cute, cuddlesome bear - and he's certainly got a kind heart . . . Using a quick wit and guile, this is a tale of the triumph of the little people
