Reviews

From: The Methodist Recorder - 23 March 2006

Through the Year with Timothy Bear by Brian Sears offers 24 five-minute stories for special days and seasons of the year, divided into sections for the school terms. The autumn section, for example, contains stories for Guy Fawkes Day, Hallowe'en and Remembrance as well as for Advent and Christmas, while for the spring term "A surprising pancake day" leads into the Easter period. Once again, comprehensive support is given for each story, with its PSHE and Bible links joined by suggestions for helping children to get to grips with the narrative, to express it, to own it and to live it out. Ideal for the age group whether at school, church or home.
