Marco Moves in: Rather Remarkable Grizzly Be

Autor Gerry Boland Ilustrat de Aine McGuinness
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 sep 2011 – vârsta de la 8 până la 12 ani
A grizzly bear walked all the way from the zoo to my front door and not a single person noticed him. I suppose it helped that it was night, and that he was wearing a big black duffle coat. Patrick makes his unexpected guest at home, while keeping him hidden from the neighbours, police and his very distractable mum!
