I delightful Christmas story that I would love to own. The local library has it and I had to take it home again this year. Published last year 2012. A must for a cosy read round the Christmas tree. Features a plain brown bear and has a message of love.
I thought this book was a really cute book! The pictures were really well drawn and I liked the story line too!

A beautifully illustrated book about a brown bear who knows the spirit of Christmas. A charming story that would make a perfect addition to Christmas story telling.
