They will help you carry your bags, they will happily sit next to a stranger on a busy bus, and they will absolutely love playing with the pigeons in the fountain. They will NOT, however, join you in a queue. Queues are BORING! But when you have a parcel to send to Granny, you're going to have to keep your bear cub entertained. . . In this joyful tale, the games to distract the bear cub become bigger and more elaborate, eventually involving everyone in the queue. After a flamboyant finale, it's time to go home at last. . . except the bear cub has vanished! Queueing turned out to be such fun that the cub has joined the back of the line to start again. It turns out that bear cubs DO do queues, after all!
