There are sorts of strange laws still in existence in the UK and USA. We'll be looking at a few this month in our new section called Dumb Laws.
Another one of our themes this month is the British Royal Family.

Of course, that's not all! We' re also looking at negative questions, useful expressions for taking a taxi. Kansas (USA), phrasal verbs with the verb to take, words to describe noises you can make with your hands, fish idioms, plus lots, lots more!

Bear and Mouse are looking for luck. Four-leaf clover luck. Will they find it? Monkey says there?s no such thing. Turtle thinks it?ll take too long. And Groundhog wonders if they?ll be unlucky if they can?t find one! Suddenly Bear isn?t sure if he should keep looking or give up . . . until Mouse sees something unusual.

Does it have four leaves?? asks Bear.

No . . .? says Mouse. Maybe Bear and Mouse's luck has changed. But which way?

Greg Foley gives us another wonderful, heartwarming surprise with Good Luck Bear.
