The Inventions of Chitter-Chatter the Bear is a story of little Betty, who dreams of being an inventor. One day she finds herself in an enormous sock – the workshop of a bear who is a peculiar mastermind who designs shoes for shy guys, an extendable Saturday, a jar for dads deprived of time to dream… In a world of rapidly developing technologies, this is a story about some other, invisible inventions. Instead of a display and a chip, they are made of cordiality, care, and understanding. This is a funny and tender book on communicating with others and with oneself in a most human and empathetic way. The book is part of the Story Seekers Club series for reluctant readers.
