5.0 out of 5 stars great present for your ring bearer, December 10, 2007

By	Angela R. Unrein "newly wed" (Kansas City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whimsically told story artfully supplemented, March 11, 2003

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ring Bear a must buy!, March 12, 2003

By	Scott Wagner (Sioux Falls, SD) - See all my reviews

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!
