Every bear in the library has been borrowed except for one.

Softie has lived in the library on the shelf for as long as she can remember. For some reason, she never seems to get picked. Softie hears all about the other bears’ adventures. But she’d really like an adventure of her own. That way she’d have a story to share.

Anyone who has ever felt left out or overlooked will see themselves in Softie and hope for her to be borrowed by a warm, loving friend.

Book Review

The Library of Bears
by Cat Rabbit

by Angela Crocombe, Feb 2025

Melbourne textile artist Cat Rabbit is wonderfully talented at creating soft, fluffy creatures that are cute and filled with personality. In her latest picture book, she has made a menagerie of tiny, felt bears and given them their very own world. The bears live in a toy library where, if they are lucky, they are borrowed and have adventures with their borrower before being returned. Poor little Softie, a sweet bear, feels sad about the fact she has never been borrowed. But when the day finally comes for her to be borrowed by a koala named K.B., she has a lot of expectations about what will happen and it doesn’t quite work out the way she expects.

This is a charming story with so much to look at and enjoy on every single page. It will be pored over with utter delight by little ones aged 2+, as well as the grown ups reading it to them!
