Stunning Illustrations and heartwarming story

This book was a surprise find to me. The illustrations are absolutely stunning and the story is just lovely for young children (the text is quite long though which probably makes it appropriate for older children as well (maybe up to age 6 or 7). Younger children will love the illustrations even if they don't have the patience to listen to the whole text. A really beautiful book for anyone's collection.

A book that "bears" a message...

A book that "bears" a message....This is not just another book about teddy bears. It has a much deeper meaning powerfully expressed in the beautiful full-page illustrations. The story is centered around the Great Bear in the sky who through acts of kindness and giving, brings hope and joy to the lonely children on earth. It is a perfect bedtime story and a book that can be read to a group of children because of the large, clear, and poignant illustrations.
