Bartholemew Bear is being a bit of a problem - as usual. He doesn't want his dinner. 'Nah,' he says over and over until George thunders, 'Eat your dinner!' Then he has one spoonful and rests. However, when George finishes his dinner and moves onto honey cake with pink icing and a cherry, Ba suddenly decides that eating might be a good idea after all. Good psychology, and the illustrations are warm and lovable. Ba is the perfect picture of a restless, squirming child.
