We're a good way through the story by this stage. Mum and Dad refuse to believe about the Bears on the Stairs. Julia Jarman's text for this spread is: 'Mummy says it's my imagination. Have you cleaned your teeth? It's past your bedtime. Go on. Upstairs.'
Since the first two spreads of the book take place in the living room, I thought for visual variety I would take Mum into the kitchen, to make a drink for her and Dad.
As you might have noticed, I'm also considering introducing a family cat (Maddy's influence?):
A pet provides another form of interaction with the bears. I invented a cat in Mr Strongmouse and the Baby:
He was handy for sort of representing our eyes on the action, reacting to events in our stead, and so adding another dimension, as well as something for children to spot:
In the Bears spread, in an echo of page 1, I originally had the koala through the open door making faces at the child, but because the door is between them, the child couldn't appreciate it. The cat on the other hand works fine. The banisters are proving to be a real pain though.
They are always getting in the way. It took ages to get the koala visible enough through the gaps for his position to be readable.
I was drawn to your picture by the mouse in the thumbnail. Yours are so cute.
