Where’s Basil? – Meeting the concrete cows of Milton Keynes – Brown Bear’s Big Day Out

Basil lived in Milton Keynes at one point and went to meet the concrete cows that are a well known feature.

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/.

Captain Roy's Rusty Rocket Radio Show (#CRRRRS): THE #UK #Geek #ScienceFiction, #Fantasy, #Horror & #DoctorWho #Podcast (https://roymathur.com/podcast.html) has visited #MiltonKeynes #Collectormania day 2/3. I gave a couple of promo keyrings to Milton Keynes Sci-Fi Museum and another to "Captain Rum." I tried to give one to an annoyed #CollectormaniaMK @Showmasters staff member who refused, then when I asked why, escalated the very obviously extremely serious matter to her supervisor! What the hell?!
