Norton and the Borrowing Bear
That night, Norton couldn’t sleep for worrying about his slippers. They were his favourite, fluffiest slippers. What if the bear damaged them? Or never gave them back?
Wouldn’t it be fun to have a friend living right next door to you? Well, as Norton discovers, it can certainly pose some challenges when that friend wants to borrow all of your favourite things.
A companion title to the shortlisted CBCA Picture Book of the Year, Norton and the Bear. The illustrations were made using watercolour, gouache and pencil.

With each release he adds to his oeuvre with such apparent ease, you wonder if he hasn’t been making picture books for his entire life.
Norton and the Borrowing Bear is yet another example of the writer and artist’s superb work.”
