Welcome

You've arrived at a lens dedicated to the beautiful picture book, Pemberthy Bear. Learn and enjoy more about Pemberthy and his author, Sally Murphy (that's me!).

About the Book

Pemberthy Bear might be covered in fluff, but he is also very gruff and grumpy. So, when the carefree Primula Doll invites him for a sing along, he refuses to join in. Later, however, he finds himself paying an unexpected visit to Primula. Can she convince him to sing with her?

Pemberthy Bear, a picture book in rhyme was released in hardcover by New Frontier Publishing in May 2006.

Pemberthy and his toy room friends have been brought to life in stunning illustrations by the very talented Jacqui Grantford. This is perfect for reading aloud and would make an excellent gift for a newborn baby.

A Taste

Pemberthy Bear was covered in fluff
But Pemberthy Bear was mean and gruff
He sat up high on the toy room shelf
Preferring to stay all by himself...

Pemberthy's Poems

Not content to star in a rhyming book, Pemberthy bear also enjoys writing poems of his own. Here's his latest, a villanelle all about being a bear.

Though others may be fair
Fabulous, free and fine
I love being a bear

My life is without care
No finer life than mine
Though others may be fair

I no longer grump and glare
Instead I sing and shine
I love being a bear

From my stuffing to my hair
I feel simply divine
Though others may be fair

Yes you may stop and stare
Wondering why I do not whine
I love being a bear.
