“It’s so heart-warming to see Little Bear making his paw mark around the globe,” said Emmanuèle Pétry Sirvin, Co-Founder of Dandelooo. “His fun-filled adventures coupled with his mischievousness promises not only to entertain but to educate preschoolers around the world.”
Little Bear is mischievous, cheerful and playful — but more than that, he has an incredible and precious gift that brings great delight and tremendous enjoyment to his best friend Rita and his parents. He adds a bit of ‘extra’ to the ordinary! Thanks to his imagination and creativity making him take thousands of detours along the way, growing day by day becomes child’s play. With the little bear’s extraordinarily active imagination, every moment of every day becomes a crazy adventure or an ‘extra’-ordinary friendship.
Aimed at children 4-7 and based on the beloved picture books by French author-illustrator Benjamin Chaud, Little Bear is directed by Matthieu Gaillard.
