Book Description
A delicious new treat from the brilliant Mini Grey, creator of Egg Drop and The Pea and the Princess.

Synopsis
When Horace bakes a biscuit in the shape of a bear, little does he know that his edible treat is going to turn into Biscuit Bear! For in the middle of the night, when all is quiet, that is exactly what happens, and Biscuit Bear decides that it is time he made some friends of his own. So, with flour, sugar and butter he does just that. In fact, he makes a whole circus of friends and the fun begins ...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bear Necessity, 8 Mar 2005
We received this as a gift for our two-year old daughter, on the basis that it was her cousin's (who is three) favourite book. We had never heard of it before but regular recitals have quickly grown to be a bedtime necessity.

The book is not astoundingly well written, but it eludes a certain atmosphere, a warm but slightly mysterious charm that draws children in and makes it interesting for imaginative adults too. There is plenty to see and speak about on each page, and fun can be had trying to bake your own biscuit bears!

Our daughter is a connoisseur of the literary classics - Each Peach, Elmer, Hungry Caterpillar - she's studied them all. But this is the one she picks out of the pile when she's alone, to ponder quietly in her bedroom.

Quietly apart from the odd "No Horace!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Endearingly surreal, 28 Nov 2006
By djdhp (Herts. England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biscuit Bear (Paperback)
This is one of those books which my daughter (aged 7) has had from the library again and again ... now it's on the Christmas list. It's simple yet sophisticated and has a lovely quirky humour as well as multiple illustrations that dance around the page and text that circles and changes typeface in tune with the story. It's not all sugary sweetness and light and endures better for that reason: Biscuit Bear escapes being eaten and stages a circus in the kitchen only to see his circus performers demolished by the arrival of the family dog, who likes biscuits as well. He himself is a survivor, however, and finds a safe home as the everlasting star of the 'Golden Bun' bakery display. My daughter loves it all. If your child likes this, try also Mini Grey's The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon - another favourite here, which will equally delight parents who are familiar with old movies ...

4.0 out of 5 stars Horace's usual routine with the lump of pastry, his Mum gives him, 3 Jan 2008
This review is from: Biscuit Bear (Paperback)
is changed, by a teddy-shaped biscuit cutter!

Paperback format, 32 pages in the popular `two-page spread' format.
Superb illustrations throughout, with lots of text, in a number of fonts.....

Main text example:-
`But today, Horace's Mum gave him a biscuit cutter in the shape of a bear to use.
Horace stamped out a pastry bear and gave it currant eyes and a nose.
Horace's Mum put it in the oven to cook.......
Twenty minutes later the biscuit bear was golden-coloured and smelt lovely, and Horace wanted to take a bite but-'

and easy to remember,repetitive use of speech:-
"No, Horace," said Horace's Mum, "you.............", as Horace`s various attempts to eat his biscuit are thwarted............

and so begins the adventures of 'Biscuit Bear`, with a surprise ending, although it might be a little hard for the younger reader to comprehend!

I try not to be negative about a book, because it is a personal choice, after all.
