Memories from over 50 years ago!, January 12, 2006
This review is from: Teddy Bear of Bumpkin Hollow (Hardcover)
This was the most treasured book of my childhood. I was a bit afraid of the parents too, but the lesson stuck with me. I came online to find a copy for my grandchildren, and after seeing the "used" prices I sure wish I knew where my original copy was!
It's a great book, great illustrations, and I still have my Teddy Bear that my parents bought to go along with the book. He's 55 now!

Pleasant, memorable book!, December 11, 2005
This review is from: Teddy Bear of Bumpkin Hollow (Hardcover)
Teddy Bear of Bumpkin Hollow tells the story of a little bear who never obeys his mother. One day, she sends him to get honey and tells him to hurry home without stopping in the woods. He ignores what she's said and, when he returns, learns that his parents have gone to his grandma's house without him, leaving a baby-sitter in their place. Although the bear is sad, he learns his lesson in time for a happy ending.
The book's illustrations are very appealing, from the teddy bear to the frog to the bucket of honey to the cookies. As a kid, I wanted to eat those cookies myself--so when I couldn't remember the title of the book, I referred to it as "the bear cookie book." When I was little, I was a bit frightened by the way the little bear's parents taught him a lesson, but maybe that was the idea. At any rate, I wasn't too traumatized.
A story to be treasured by generations!

Teddy Bear of Bumpkin Hollow, September 29, 2009
This review is from: Teddy Bear of Bumpkin Hollow (Hardcover)
This was my favorite book when I was three. My mother read it to me so much I had it memorized. I literally wore the book out and my mother threw it away.
I started looking for a copy of this book about 20 years ago at book shops & from book collectors. Nobody could help me.
At the advice of my son, I recently started looking for a copy on the internet, but the prices were WAY beyond my price range.
FINALLY after 20 years of looking, I found a copy of Teddy Bear of Bumpkin Hollow at a price I could afford. Because of the low price, I was a little worried when I placed the order.
I was pleasantly surprised when I received the book. It was in MUCH BETTER condition that was advertised PLUS I received the book 3 days after I placed my order.
Even though it is a collectable, I had to open it up and read it. I enjoy the book as much now as I did when my mother first read it to me 47 years ago.
If you have never read The Teddy Bear of Bumpkin Hollow, I STRONGLY suggest you read it.
