Another wonderful tale from the 'OLD BEAR' series, based on her own toy collection, by JANE HISSEY.
17 Aug 2004
Format:Paperback
This story is all about the arrival of a new character, and friend, for 'Old Bear' and friends.
'A big box arrives and Rabbit puzzles over what is inside; could it be something exciting like treasure?
Old Bear and the other toys help him solve the mystery and they all find a new, furry friend!'
Endearing cover picture opens to 32 high quality shiny pages, brightly illustrated throughout.
Example of text:-
'Bramwell Brown had been busy knitting all week. He'd started on Monday, knitted all Tuesday, and by Wednesday the scarf he was making was just about long enough for Little Bear. But Bramwell didn't stop.
By Thursday, the scarf fitted Rabbit and Little Bear together, but still Bramwell kept knitting.
On Friday, the scarf fitted Rabbit, Little Bear and Duck.
But Bramwell didn't stop knitting until Saturday, and by then the scarf was too long for anyone in the playroom.......'
But this scarf turns out to be very useful indeed when the new, rather different, friend is finally revealed!
The 'Old Bear' series of books are all based on the harmless and captivating 'toys-coming-to-life' scenario.
ooOoo
Footnote:-
The first book in the series is OLD BEAR, published in 1986 and introduces the main character, a lovable old bear who has been put away for safe keeping and is retrieved from the attic!
Other titles from the OLD BEAR series of books include:-
Ruff
Hoot
Splash!
Old Bear's All-together Painting
Little Bear Lost
Little Bear's Trousers
