Hello, Mr Cuddles here. Claire has asked me to write you all  a VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE! Claire has discovered that her contact page is not sending all your lovely messages to her, via her website contact page!  She's only just realised it (in fact I had to remind her to check everything was working okay, as it did seem a bit quiet on the messages front!)  Obviously it's not been working at all! Good thing she has a Bear to spot these things! Claire is very upset about this and sends HUGE apologies for not replying to your lovely messages. Worse still - they are all lost. Sob! Fortunately, Ray, who is a complete genius, has been sorting this out and hopefully everything will be back to normal very soon! Thanks Ray!  

                      Hello, Mr Cuddles here again, I was looking on a website called Shepherd Books ( https://shepherd.com/ ) and found this great review  for Claire's book - Dinosaurs Love Underpants .   I thought I'd share it with any of you dinosaur fans out there! It's all part of my teddy bear duties, looking after my human! The hilarious follow-up to the award-winning Aliens Love Underpants! The mystery of dinosaur extinction is solved! Scientists have plenty of theories about why dinosaurs are extinct, but the UK's bestselling author/illustrator team of Claire Freedman and Ben Cort knows the real answer: The dinos were wiped out in an Underpants War! This wacky celebration of underpants is perfect for reading aloud, and the hilarious antics of T. rex and the gang are endlessly entertaining. Featuring fun, vibrant art and short, rhyming text, Dinosaurs Love Underpants is a prehistoric pleasure parents and kids will want to read again and again. Praise for Din

  Mr Cuddles Blog - March 2023 Hello! Mr Cuddles here. I’ve been very busy going out and about and look what I came across on top of a post box in Leicester! YAY! Some very clever person (who goes under the name of SKB (Syston K Banxy) has knitted an Alien Love Underpants topper for World Book Day! It’s from Claire’s, and illustrator Ben Cort’s book, Aliens Love Underpants! Whoever that talented knitter is, they must be a Leicester City Football Club supporter – see the blue pants around the edge of the topper. I told Claire and she was so impressed and excited to see it! Now I want someone to knit a post box topper of me! Pleeeeze! Lots of love and Cuddles   Mr Cuddles x

MR CUDDLES BLOG  💓     12th March 2023  👋 Hello! Mr Cuddles here! I just wanted to tell you all about a book called CUDDLE BEAR, that I helped Claire to write. The book is all about me (so it's a must read!) Of course I had to change my name as I don't want to become TOO famous! CUDDLE BEAR is a book all about cuddles. And as I'm THE expert in hugs and cuddles, Claire needed my help in writing it. In fact I almost wrote it myself! I asked Claire to share with the world my cuddle secrets for the best ever hugs and cuddles. Here are a few peeks inside some of the pages. Remember, cuddles come in all shapes and sizes, and there is a hug to fit everyone! I've even given away my TOP SECRET tip for finding the very best cuddle for yourself. You will have to read the book to find out what that is! CUDDLE BEAR is illustrated by the very talented Gavin Scott. I'm sure he loves cuddles too! P.S. There is also a sequel to CUDDLE BEAR called CUDDLE BEAR'S BOOK OF HUGS. I&

Mr Cuddles Very Important Blog – No 7 Location: Manchester & Essex, England YIPPEE! I found Claire on the internet! I couldn’t help doing cartwheels around the room! Better still – she was on a dating site! Now all I had to do was to get Him and Claire together. Easier than I thought! I twiddled with the internet and made sure Claire’s photo kept flashing onto the screen. Him fell for it (I mean for Claire!). When I listened to their phone conversations it seemed to be going well. I am such a clever little bear! The day Him was getting ready to go down to Essex to meet Claire, I smuggled myself into his rucksack! Him never had the faintest clue what was really happening! Suddenly I felt nervous. What if Claire didn’t like me? What if she didn’t even like teddy bears? But then I remembered that bears choose their human – not the other way round. I was SO sure Claire was MY human.The moment Claire and Him met, I leapt out of the rucksack. Ta-dah! “Whose this?” said Claire. “What’s hi

Mr Cuddles Very Important Blog – No 6 Location: Manchester, England When I came to, I didn’t know where I was. I must have been hit by a boat and then fished out of the water. But how did I get here? I may never know. I could hear thumping music and dancing, and happy human laughter. When my eyes got used to the dark, I also realised why I couldn’t move my paws. I was in a huge sack and wrapped in paper. What was going on?  I tore a teeny hole in the paper and peeped out. There were others wrapped up in the sack with me. Some were peering out of small rips in their wrapping paper too. “It’s a Christmas party!” squeaked a panda bear shaped like a hot water bottle. “We’re all Secret Santa presents hidden in Santa’s sack!” “Soon we’ll be picked out of the sack!” said a cat, attached to the top of a woolly hat! “I hope I’m chosen by someone nice! I don’t want to be worn by just anyone!” “Shh!” someone whispered. “They’re coming for us!” Suddenly a hand dipped into the sack, jiggled around,
