I like the illustration of Bramwell Brown (what a great bear name!) painting a poster of Little Bear, so that everyone knows who they are looking for! The pictures add a lot to the stories, I think, as they're so carefully drawn, very detailed and gorgeous to look at. He goes to put his trousers on one morning but, oh dear, they've disappeared! He searches everywhere, asking everyone, and unfortunately discovers a trail that leads him to see that his trousers have been used by everyone for all sorts of different things - as a sail for a boat, as a two-bone holder (by the dog!), as a skiing hat and even as icing bags to pipe icing onto a cake! Never mind Little Bear, they turn the cake into a 'Happy Trousers Day' cake, so everything is okay in the end!Īll of the stories are entertaining, with lots happening and beautiful pictures on every page. Once he's rescued we move swiftly on into a hilarious story about Little Bear's trousers. It's exciting and fun with lots of action, and it's moving too as the expression on poor Old Bear's face as he sits reading a book in the attic is rather sad.
The first story sees the daring rescue of Old Bear from the attic. The toys look like all those lovely old fashioned toys that children used to have, jointed teddy bears and fuzzy rabbits, and the stories too have a sweet, old fashioned appeal. This collection brings together five stories into one book, introducing us to Old Bear, Little Bear, Jolly Tall and all the other toy friends. Summary: These classic stories are lovely to share with little ones, and the gorgeous illustrations really bring all the stories to life.
