<p>For some time now, I've been getting visits, every now and again, from December II, the little pot-bellied king. He's about three inches tall and so fat that he can't button up his tiny red velvet coat with the magnificent ermine collar. "Little King December" comes from a place where, the day you are born, you wake up fully grown and fully clothed, in a suit, say. And that very first day of your life you go into your office, do some deals, write a computer programme, or sell foreign rights in a first novel. You are born big, knowing everything, but every day you get a little bit smaller and you forget a little bit more, so that at the end of your life you are tiny, and you spend your days forgetting things, eating jelly bears and chasing shadows in the garden. King December lives in a tiny room in a hole in the wall, the shelves piled high with countless colourful boxes, full of his dreams.</p>

<p>'When I was a small boy I had a little, silent bear called Sunday...' So begins a story in which a boy and his bear are so inseparable - in the way that children and bears often become. When the little boy goes to the swings, the bear goes too and sits in the swing next to him. When he goes to the toilet, the little bear sits next to him on a tiny potty. They are the best of friends. But the little bear never says anything. And he never gives the boy a kiss. Doubts cross the boy's mind: does the little bear love the boy as much as he loves him? Is the bear really alive? He tries to get some sign of life out of the bear. And then one night the boy has a dream...A beautifully poetic story about the magical world of children and bears, with stunning illustrations by Michael Sowa.</p>
