About this title

Synopsis

Years ago Old Bear was packed away in a box in the attic, and there he stayed until Bramwell Brown remembered him. Bramwell and his friends decide it's time Old Bear came back to the playroom, but it's a long way up to the attic and they haven't got a ladder.

Review

Bramwell Bear remembers his friend Old Bear, who used to live with them in the Playroom, but is now banished to the attic. Bramwell and his friends Little Bear, Duck and Rabbit attempt to rescue him using a number of ingenious methods. Eventually, with the aid of a toy aeroplane, the rescue is effected and Old Bear joins his friends in the Playroom. Jane Hissey's comforting nursery world is wonderfully evoked in her delightful colour illustrations, which are full of warmth and vitality. This is an endearing book to share with young children. -- Philippa Reece
