Every morning our eighteen month old daughter starts the day by exclaiming 'Old Bear!' - the cue that one of us must read it with her without further ado. If it's not left in her cot at night, she often says, 'Oh dear, Old Bear?'. In short this book really wins the toddler vote. Our toddler learnt how to wobble by reading this. She also learnt the meaning of 'sad'. Old bear is a story of lasting friendship, teamwork among stuffed toys, and a daring airborne rescue bid. Contrary to one review, the pictures are not 'sugary-sweet', Our very discerning daughter loves them, and actually, so do I. We have found that we've read the book so often that the words are imprinted in our memories - but amazingly we don't mind. All together now: 'One day the toys were sitting by the window when they remembered their friend Old Bear...'

Old Bear is an excellent board book for the very young child. It is an abridged edition but the story line is the same as
the original story. If your child loves Teddy Bears this is the book for that child. Very cute.

Old Bear is a well written children's book with a lot of great illustrations. My little granddaughter reads it over and over. The message is a good one for children, too.

Book arrived very quickly and was in excellent condition. Will certainly order from them again.

One day, Bramwell Brown remembers his friend Old Bear who was put away in the attic. Bramwell and the other stuffed animals decide to get him back.

What follows is a series of failed attempts to reach the attic until finally one succeeds and the toys are united.

I like this story because it does show the process of thinking through a problem as well as perseverance (even when Duck thinks there is no hope). As with many children's books there are a few logic problems, but overall it reads very well.

Look for the other Little Bear stories as well.

From the first day I brought this book home, my daughter has loved it. "Old Bear" was one of the first phrases she said. This book teaches that by trying new ideas and working together, you can accomplish anything. It's a wonderful life lesson for toddlers, with captivating drawings and warm, loveable characters. I would highly recommend this book, along with any others by Jane Hissey, to all parents.

I have loved this book since I first read it at three. It was the first book besides Cat in the Hat that I read aloud, and at sixteen, I still keep it on my bookshelf, and I love to pull it out and read it! Definitely a book that I am going to pass on to my children. It's all about how true friendship lasts forever...trust me, your kids will love it!!

I feel that this book is a very well written book. It has pictures that follow the plot of the book and this helps younger children. I know that many children would relate well to this book because they do not like to see their toys locked up in a box. When I read this book it reminded me of when I was younger and I had a bear that got put in a box and I went and got it! So I feel that this is a good book to read to younger children from toddlers to third graders.

From all of the books my perants read to me I have always liked this one the best. Old Bear is filled with adventure and true friendship. It also teaches problem solving and imgination.

A great book for children who love animals. They can play with bears, a rabbit, and a duck. The best part of this book is that it teaches problem solveing and it is really fun.
