Customer Reviews

This is the book

Great little book with a subtle humour and interesting little characters, that appeals to both adults and kids. A great book to read aloud and you can focus the story different ways in different readings - on the naughty dog that throws the bear away and then claims hero status on finding him, on the adrenalin junkie bear who views the whole escapade as an adventurous day out or on the little boy determined to find his beloved bear. The illustrations are simple but lovely. This is sure to be a favourite - be prepared to read this over and over and over again!

Spell binder for preschoolers

I teach preschoolers and they ask for this book over and over again. The catchy rhyming rythmn seems to be pleasing to them. The pictures are adorable and the story takes them along on the adventure with "The Bear".
