    About this ebook

    You mustn't step on a crack or the Pavement Bears will get you! Sure, sure, says Lucy-Anne, but it's not a game when an angry family of bears turn up. Then there's the time she becomes a firework and goes blasting off into the night, or when Lucy-Anne becomes an ant forced to carry a crumb of cake to the nest where she makes an enemy of the Queen. 'an enduring character that will be loved by children for many years to come' (The Book Trust)

      Daddy said, ‘Don’t go far. And stay off the cracks or the pavement bears will come for you.’
