Where’s Basil? – Jardin du Carrousel, Paris, France – Brown Bear’s Big Day Out

Basil in the Jardin du Carrousel, Paris, France. It was a very hot day in the City of Light.

Brown Bear’s Big Day Out is a story about a bear in a zoo that puts on a disguise so that he can escape and visit a funfair called Dizzyland. It’s about looking at people in depth and not being afraid because they look different from you. So Basil looks like a man when disguised but is still the same friendly and hero bear in this case once his disguise slips.

The story contains illustrations throughout the text. These are then repeated at the back of the printed book so that younger children can colour them in. One of them can be seen below.

The book is available globally from Amazon in both printed and ebook formats. This is the .co.uk link, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brown-Bears-Big-Day-Adventures/dp/1980868859/, and this is for .com, https://www.amazon.com/Brown-Bears-Big-Day-Out-ebook/dp/B086DSF5N7/.

✨ Paris — where every cobblestone whispers a story and every sunset paints the sky gold.

The Eiffel Tower rises like poetry against the evening sky. Café lanterns glow on rain-kissed boulevards. Fresh croissants drift through narrow alleys at dawn.

This city isn't just beautiful. It's beauty itself. 🇫🇷🗼

A day filled with the most beautiful light — and I simply couldn’t resist capturing the timeless beauty of Rome. Every corner tells a story, every shadow feels like art. ✨📸

Když den pomalu končí a světla lamp začínají psát příběhy noci.
Praha – v okamžiku mezi dnem a snem.

Lights, art, and autumn nights in Jyväskylä 🌌

The city turned into a glowing gallery — where nature, people, and technology spoke the same luminous language.

And as the city glows into October, we move from light to ideas — from Valon Kaupunki (City of Light) to Plone Conference 2025 and PyCon Finland, where creativity shines in code, connection, and community. 💻✨
