On December 1 every year we start up the Cinnamon Bear. It is now a tradition to do this. The story of Paddy O'Cinnamon, Judy and Jimmy, and the Crazy Quilt Dragon is with no question a classic that the whole family will enjoy fo years to come!

5.0 out of 5 stars As charming as the original old time radio broadcasts., January 28, 1999

By A Customer

This remastered CD returns the Cinnamon bear to it's original quality. The story is full of adventure, and excitement that my two children love. Some of the terminology used is rather out dated, but it doesn't detract from the story, although it does require a little explination from time to time. My children didn't know what a "looking glass" was. This is definitely wholesome, worthwhile entertainment.

I also grew up listening to this on a radio station in Portland. This story was so captivating that as a child I named one of my toys "Cinnamon Bear". Last year I bought a "silver" star to put on the top of my Christmas tree. I'm very excited that I can now share this story with friends who did not grow up with this story.

Since you get a little bit of the story each night, it is similar to an Advent Calendar.

There is danger, joy, water travel, air travel, friendly people, not so friendly people. Children get to listen to a brother and sister work together. It is charming. I suggest that all families add this to their Christmas traditions.
