Selecting gifts for the bridal party was one of the more challenging aspects of planning our wedding. Our nephews are big into books so this was a great gift. I also wrote a personal message on the inside flap so it is now a keepsake. The story is very cute as the child thinks he is going to be a ring bear not a ring bearer. I'm glad I found it.

The Ring Bear by N. L. Sharp is the story of Robert, a young boy who loves bears - real bears and stuffed bears, bears in books and even bear crackers to munch! So when Robert learns that he is to be a "ring bear" in his aunt's wedding he is excited - until he learns that his aunt isn't expecting a real bear! A whimsically told story artfully supplemented with amusing color illustrations by Michael T. Hassler, Jr., The Ring Bear is a welcome and highly recommended addition to school and community library picture book collections for young readers.

This is a delightful, thoughtful creation. The author has masterfully pieced together an idea that has come up in the minds of so many youngsters--the misinterpretation of ring bearer as ring bear. This is not only a superb gift for any ring bearer, but it is also a great buy for all children. It is extremely humorous, yet so realistic. A must have!

Fun way to explain the duties of a ring bearer without being to overwhelming.

I bought this book for my 4 y/o cousin who will be my ring bearer. We thought he was so unique in thinking he would actually be wearing a bear costume down the aisle, but I guess he wasn't the only little boy thinking literally!! The book is very cute, and tells your little man how to behave for the ceremony, but beware, toward the end of the book it says that he can do whatever he wants at the reception, even to the point of "growling" at other guests. I'm considering removing that page since we have such a literal little guy on our hands! Other than that, I think this will be an adorable gift!

My little ring-bearer is 4 and this book is going to be perfect for him. It's pretty cute and well-worth the buy!
