Bella the Bear couldn’t be more excited. Her class is doing her favourite bedtime story, Little Red Riding Hood, for her school play, and she has the main part! She can’t wait to be onstage, with her red cape flying. After a bumpy start, rehearsals go well and everyone is looking forward to their big night. But then, as the school hall fills up and the lights go down, Bella hears the rumble of chatter in the crowd and imagines everyone watching her performance. And suddenly her tummy does a flip and a flop. What is this feeling? Is Bella … scared? An exuberant rhyming story told with humour and heart, brought to life with zingy illustrations and instantly lovable characters from the creators of Rhinos Don’t Cry.
