About this title

Synopsis

Orson, the biggest bear in the forest, had no friends at all until one day he found a special friend--a teddy bear.

Reviews

PreSchool-Grade 3?Rascal's warm story of friendship and its magical powers of transformation is one for all seasons and generations. Orson is a big bear. He's a gregarious soul, but when he plays with the other forest animals someone always gets hurt. As a result, he is shunned and lonely and spends most of his time looking forward to hibernation. When spring wakes him, he finds a little teddy bear outside his cave and, because the stuffed toy is not afraid of him, the two become friends. Orson has never been happier. But when it's time to hibernate again, he decides that since the toy is not real, he should leave it where he found it; then, a little voice calls out to him, and he realizes his friend might be alive after all. This book is sure to win the hearts of children. Ramos's line-and-wash illustrations have a free-wheeling style that will remind readers of the work of James Stevenson and Frank Modell. Orson himself, as well as his tiny companion, will charm the hardest of hearts, and young readers will feel the big bear's loneliness as well as his joy. Though it won't displace The Velveteen Rabbit, this tale and its enigmatic ending will most certainly spark imagination and discussion.?Jeanne Marie Clancy, Upper Merion Township Library, King of Prussia, PA

Store Description

Bkslinen operates out of my home and I have over 10,000 out of print children's books. I am now retired and working very diligently to get them listed and sold. I love children's books and it is a joy to find a book for someone who remembers the book from their childhood. My granddaughter, Tiffany Power, is now running the business!
