About this deal

I loved the ending, where Williams Mumma comforts him and with her by his side, he gains the courage to tackle the bear under the stair.

This could be used to encourage children that any fears or problems they have can be overcome when shared with others. The repetitive language ‘wham, bang, thump’ is also a fun way to encourage children to join in with the reading. This story is something a lot of young children will feel familiar with – they have big imaginations about the unknown which can be quite enchanting, just like this book. The sequence of learning finishes with children making comparisons between real bears and toy bears and using this as the basis for an information report about bears to give to William to help him feel less scared.This is a classic tale of one little boy and his attempts to deal with his fear about the bear that lives under the stairs. This book would be suitable for children slightly older in Key Stage 1 (aged 5-7 years) as they are more likely to have that understanding in place picking up that the story is about the boy’s imagination.

I acknowledge the fact that it may relate to some children's fears of dark isolated rooms and big furniture looking like scary creatures, or even that these things can be our imagination. She was born in 1963 and grew up in the far North of England in a very rural area where milk came from the farm in a can, bears lived under the stairs, and it rained a great deal. This heighten the feeling of fear of the unknown as experienced by William, as well as giving the reader time and space to focus on the detailed illustrations. The space under the stairs begins to smell, so William and his mother must figure our how to approach the scary bear.Find out what happens when a nasty smell pervades the house and Mum and William decide to investigate . Eventually the remains of the food let’s of a stench that the rest of the household can smell, when Williams mother decides to investigate they find that the cellar is rather empty. This book is a short story about a boy who believes there is a big brown grizzly bear living under the stairs in his house. The Bear Under the Stairs is an entertaining, suspenseful, and amusing story that toddlers will certainly enjoy and ask for again.
