Old Bear is a lovely story book with excellent illustrations by Jane Hissey and I would say that it is suitable for children from about three years upwards as there is a slightly more complicated storyline to follow than some of the earlier picture books.
The story starts with the central character Bramwall Brown, who is a stuffed toy dog, sitting on the windowsill with his friends Duck, rabbit and Little Bear. They are all friends but they suddenly remember that there is another friend who they haven’t seen for a while.
