Just in time Molly the mouse and Cyril the squirrel jump into the action, but they cannot hold off the weasels for long. Then, Ben the bear happens to walk in and the day is saved. But, something exciting has happened, the eggs have hatched into ducklings, and they think Ben the bear is their momma.

British author Melinda Kinsman both writes and illustrates her popular children's books from her home on a small peninsula called The Wirral, in North West England. Melinda has to lie down a lot each day, due to health issues, she spends most of that time using her iPad to write and illustrate her books. That most assuredly does not deter her from composing excellent books that entertain both children and the lucky adults reading to them!For those who are new to Melinda's series of books, welcome to The Top of the Wardrobe Gang - a team of cuddly toys who write the stories and ideas in this (and other) books. In this Book 9 Melinda introduces Molly Mouse and her friend Cyril as they visit a mother duck nesting on her eggs and they watch as the eggs hatch. But the weasel gang shows up and struggle to make the eggs - and Molly – their food for lunch – but fortunately Bear appears and frightens off the weasels. Standing guard over the new family of ducklings Bear inadvertently is perceived as the ducklings’ mother and they follow him around the barn. Bear sleeps with the mother and her ducklings and the next day the ducklings follow Bear to the lake and there instead of being frightened they jump in and swim. Molly has directed another little victory among her friends. And Melinda has created another very successful book! Grady Harp, April 16
We first met Ben the Bear Cub in Book 9 of the Top of the Wardrobe Gang Picture Book when he turned up at Molly the Mouse's house in the middle of winter. In this book, #10 in the series, Molly Mouse and Cyril Squirrel are keeping a close eye on Mrs. Duck and her eggs. Today is hatching day! As Molly and Cyril sit patiently who should come in but the Weasel Gang Boys! OH NO! How does Ben help out and what are the consequences of his helpfulness?This is an absolutely DELIGHTFUL story that is well-written in rhyming format along with lovely illustrations. The font is varied making for a very easy read. The author has a knack of really making the creatures come alive. Can you find the brown feather hidden in every picture in this book? At the end of the book, after the character page, read on for 'Burton Bear's Nature Notes and three puzzles. SO not only is this book charming it is also educational! This book is one that is not to be missed by families with young children. We look forward to reading more. Thanks, Liz.

Molly the Mouse and Cyril the Squirrel eagerly await the hatching of the farmyard’s newest brood of ducklings. Ben the Bear Cub protects them from harm when the Weasel Gang Boys attempt to steal the eggs. A sweet animal story told in rhyme about friends helping friends with charming illustrations that little ones will love. P.D. Monkey hides a feather on each page to find, as a fun activity, plus there are puzzles and nature notes included.
A fabulous story that holds kids attention all the way through. It's exciting to think about what might happen next in the story and then discover what really does happen. This book is very entertaining and a cheerful story. Kids will love the artwork and the characters, as well as the wonderful rhymes.
