Synopsis

An uplitfting story about a bear without a smile A very sad-looking French bear has arrived in the toy shop. His name is Albert le Blanc. The other toys plan a special show to cheer him up. Albert keeps trying to tell the toys he's not sad -- he just has a sad face -- but they are too busy with their show...Jack-in-a-box leaps around, Pickle the mouse tries to tell a joke (but forgets the ending) and Sally the hippo puts on her bright red lipstick and performs a ballet. But, Sally's ballet moves aren't quite as graceful as intended and she falls on top of Albert, planting a big kiss right on his mouth. And when Albert gets up again he has a huge red lipstick grin all over his face. Everyone laughs and laughs...especially Albert le Blanc!

Review:

One Snowy Night A lovely book to share at bedtime `Children's Book News' A heartwarming tale `Susan Hill, The Independent' After the Storm ...look no further for the best present for any child from two to six `Susan Hill, The Sunday Times' The Rescue Party It's good for reading aloud to under-fives, and later the six-pluses will still want to read it themselves `The Independent on Sunday'
