Judge Bear [Paperback]

Judging, said Judge Bear, is very hard, very hard indeed. And indeed it is, for an eight year old bear who, due to a catastrophic muddle, finds himself appointed as one of Her Majestys High Court Judges. Judge Bear is the first in a series of tales involving Joshua Bear as he encounters the trials and tribulations of being a High Court Judge, seeing that justice is done and baddies punished. In his first adventure, Judge Bear is sent to Judge School to study gavel banging, wig wearing and, most importantly of all, how not to fall asleep in court. With Johnson Bayer, the barrister whose judgeship he has mistakenly taken, trying to stop him at every opportunity, Judge Bear studies hard to ensure that despite all the obstacles in his way he can pass the Judge School exams and start on a life of adventure and Judging.
