5.0 out of 5 stars Charles appeals to all, May 7, 2000

By 

Dal Burns (San Francisco, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Adventures of Charles The Well Traveled Bear (Paperback)

I was skeptical about a book on a teddy bear. Still, I delved in to see who this bear was. Now that I have finished the book, I am touched. Numerous times I was brought to tears by the simple, truthful sentiments expressed by Charles. This is a book for children and adults who should read it together. Every parent shold read this book to their kids. The story was easy and fun to follow. The ideas and sentiments are what really tugged at me very strongly indeed. I will definitely read the next episode!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charles the Well-Traveled Bear, August 31, 2000

By 

Elisabeth Rose Wilds (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Adventures of Charles The Well Traveled Bear (Paperback)

What struck me most about this book was Charles' loving response to problems and dilemmas which he encounters on his mission to Earth. We are shown how to remain open and understanding, even when the rug is pulled out from under us. We are also taught how to be gentle to ourselves; allowing ourselves rest and recuperation. Charles has a very healthy rhythm which carries him through his struggles, deepening his reach to his inner self and the humanity which surrounds him. ELF's ability to portray living with an enlightened awareness in a well written story makes this a worthwhile read. Not to mention the reader's privilege of sharing beautiful and touching moments captured in the life of Charles and his friends.
