Old
Bob’s Brown Bear
By Niki

Review by: Yvonne

When old Bob was very
young he wanted a teddy bear of his very own, to love and cherish. Each
year no teddy bear arrives! On
Old Bob’s birthday, however, he finally receives his first teddy bear
from Gran.
Emma,
seeing how her grandpa sticks the teddy bear on the shelf between his
dusty books on the bookshelf, decides to take
bear for a tea party. When it is time for Emma and her mommy to go home,
Emma becomes very upset. She must leave
the teddy on the bookshelf. When Emma returns on her next visit she hugs
the teddy and looks at Old Bob’s books with
him. When it is time for Emma and her mother to leave, grandpa decides
that Teddy Bear needs a vacation and that Emma
And
vacation they did! To the garden for picnics, to the store, to the beach,
in the bath and even hanging around to get dry! When
Emma visits Old bob, he examines the teddy bear, as he listens to the
fabulous tales of their expeditions. Again at home
time Emma doesn’t want to give Teddy go, and although Old bob seems to
be starting to fall in love with him, he lets
Emma take him home again. This time Emma keeps Teddy for a long time. The
fur around his nose and tummy is rubbing
off due to all the hugs he is receiving. His fur was getting very fuzzy
when Emma brushed him. Teddy was beginning to
look worn out! When Emma starts
school she didn’t see Old Bob much, and she even seemed to lose some
interest in teddy. During school
vacation Old Bob decides to pay Emma a visit. He searches in her toy box
for the teddy bear and finds him at
the very bottom. When Old Bob picks up Teddy, he looks at him. In return
Teddy looks at Old Bob. In that instant, both
Teddy
and Old Bob fall in love, but will this be a problem for Emma?
You’ll have to
read the book to find out how this cozy book ends!
I
recommend this book for all age groups, young and old! Beautiful story
line and beautiful pictures will make this book your little
ones favorite. After all who could turn their backs on a well-loved
well-worn teddy bear.
