Collins is trying to show, by the mouse eventually needing something from the bear, that we must treat others as we would wish to be treated. On those very rare occasions where your child needs a reminder, the frown face patch can be used to motivate change and instill empathy in children.

The chair of beautiful form with twin bears standing up on two legs supporting the child’s seat with open arms having humorous expressions looking forward.

Sometimes it is the smallest things that draw me to a picture book, sometimes it is the title, other times it’s the illustration on the cover. The chair legs are painted yellow to match and are angled to increase the stability of the chair, making the chair practical as well as pretty.
