Debi Gliori studied design and illustration at Edinburgh College of Art, and since then she has illustrated many children's books and has written many of her own picture books. For Orchard these include Mr Bear Babysits, Mr Bear's Picnic, Mr Bear to the Rescue (winner of the Children's Book Award) and the Mr Bear board books which have been translated into nine languages and sold successfully over the world. Debi lives in East Lothian, Scotland.
Gliori (Mr. Bear Babysits, etc.) offers a version of the adage that it takes a village to raise a child, when Mr. and Mrs. Bear get help from a community of loving friends in soothing their fretful newborn. When the serenity of the nighttime forest is shattered by the incessant wailing of Mr. Bear's newest child, the woodland animals offer the bleary parents suggestions on how they put their own offspring to sleep. With ingenious and amusing results, Gliori devises forest-appropriate baby furniture, from Mr. Bun's lettuce and carrot cradle to Mrs. Buzz's honey-filled hive. Alas, none of these remedies works and soon the friends drift back to their own homes. Only Small Bear can enlighten her parents as to what the baby needs--a warm snuggle in bed with the family. The endearing illustrations are brimming with humorous details. The bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Bear looks as if a small whirlwind hit itit is strewn with tiny clothes, small toys, the ubiquitous pile of baby care manuals, ointment, and moredeftly conveying the way one very small and helpless creature can reorient a family's entire universe.
