CLARE AND CORY SHARE A (GLORIOUS) STORY

by Joe Bromley


Where’s the class bear?

Let us explain:

Jane shares her train (batteries not included)

Anmol shares his doll (wonky leg; mended several times)

Michael shares his cycle (a trusty three-wheeler)

Willow and Joe both have a go with a yo-yo

BUT

Clare NEVER EVER shares her pear

Until she loses the class bear (uh-oh)

Enter Cory

Can he save the day with a story?


Join Really Big Pants for a glorious story of sharing, exploring, and daring, written entirely in rhyme.  This interactive show encourages children to not only share their belongings and enjoy a great story, but also to explore the natural world so close to home.  And there’s an accompanying longer-form picture book, illustrated by the award-winning Steve Smallman, available to buy on the day, featuring the exact text so you can relive the adventure at home!
