Who's Been Eating My Porridge?

Reach for this book when your child is in a playful, investigative mood or starting to express mild fears about 'monsters' and the unknown. This story transforms a common toddler frustration, a missing meal, into a lighthearted detective mission. As Little Bear and his fairytale friends track down a porridge thief, the narrative gently models how curiosity and teamwork can overcome the anxiety of a spooky mystery. It is a perfect choice for preschool and kindergarteners who enjoy spotting familiar characters in new settings. Parents will appreciate how it balances suspense with humor, eventually resolving the 'monster' threat in a way that feels safe and silly rather than truly frightening. It encourages observation skills and reinforces the idea that what we fear is often far less scary once we take a closer look together.
