Customer Reviews

Brilliant early work by the author of Mouse Paint

I secretly prefer Brunus and the New Bear to the later works of renowned author and artist Ellen Stoll Walsh, probably because I remember reading it when my own children were very young. When a boy named Benjamin receives a new teddy bear, his "old" bear Brunus grows jealous and tries to hide his rival under the rug. This book charmingly tells the story of sibling rivalry in a way children will understand and relate to.

Memories

I haven't read this book recently, but remember reading it all the time as a child. I remember the soft illustrations, and the feelings of Brunus. I think my parents got this book for me at the arrival of my baby sister, when I was four. I remember reading the story and feeling the same way Brunus did, when Heek came in the mail. It is one of very few books that I know I remember reading.
