Written by Katie Blackburn and beautifully published by Faber & Faber, Dozy Bear and the Secret of Food is a 32-page picture book for children aged 0–5 that helps little ones explore the world of food with curiosity and joy.

Dozy Bear is hungry, but he doesn’t want what Mama and Papa bear are eating – he only wants fish! When he joins the other animals in the forest, he embarks on a food adventure that just might change his mind. This thoughtful and engaging story encourages children to try new things without pressure, using gentle humour and warm, comforting illustrations.

• Encourages healthy eating habits – ideal for children who are hesitant to try new foods.
• Perfect for social-emotional development – Dozy’s journey models empathy and openness.
• Classroom-friendly themes – supports early years discussions about sharing, routine and growing up.
