In this video, Educator Jo reads the children's book 'The Very Itchy Bear', by Australian cartoonist and writer, Nick Bland.
"Bear is here... and here is Flea (but Flea's a little small to see). This is Flea about to bite, but not because he's impolite. He's biting bear to say, 'Hello!', biting high and biting low. In The Very Cranky Bear, Bear's cave was invaded by four playful animals. In The Very Itchy Bear there is just one creature bothering him: a persistent flea. Bear tries to get away but Flea just won't leave him alone. When Bear finally gets rid of Flea, he finds that he misses him ― and a new friendship is born."
