A simple game of hide-and-seek goes a little wrong when Little Bear finds such a good hiding place that no-one can find him. All the toys search high and low for their friend until, finally, he is found in a very clever place. This is another reassuring and delightfully illustrated story from Jane Hissey. Children will delight in both the illustrations and the satisfying resolution to the mystery of what happened to Little Bear. - -Philippa Reece

Jolly Tall is desperate to see the snow, but it's not cold enough outside. His friends decide to show him the magic of snow by creating special indoor snow. Their first few attempts are unsuccessful but Old Bear soon comes up with the answer and the toys are soon enjoying an indoor snowstorm. Outside, real snow starts to fall but the lure of Old Bear's snowflake biscuits proves too tempting--besides, real snow is cold! Children will delight in the toys' attempts to create the magic of snow and thoroughly enjoy their escapades. With warm and humorous colour pictures, Jane Hissey recreates both the magic of snow and the cosy world of the nursery. --Philippa Reece

When Little Bear wakes up in the morning and finds his trousers missing, he asks his friends if they have seen them. It appears that all his friends have seen them and used them for various purposes before passing them on to someone else. No- one, it seems, has recognized them for what they really are. Children will delight in the ingenious uses the toys have for the trousers and Little Bear's growing frustration as he finds his trousers being used for all sorts of unsuitable activities. Fortunately, all is resolved satisfactorily as the trousers' final use was in the making of a delicious cake. This is a delightful and amusing book for sharing with young children. --Philippa Reece

Jane Hissey's unremittingly delectable Bear books have thrilled generations of toddlers, and these stunningly simple yet somehow deeply detailed books have certainly become classics that will be passed on to further generations of little ones in years to come.Hissey's almost perfect illustrations of the toys she grew up with breath life into the characters of Little Bear, Rabbit, Old Bear and their toy-cupboard pals, and the clever mix of modern writing and nostalgic illustration perfectly captures a charm and mood that rarely fails to delight.
Little Bear's Dragon, a collection of four brand new stories, is no exception to the Hissey rule and is as enchanting and endearing as any of her other work. Whether messing about in a stream in The Boat Race, taking an unusual trip in The Birthday Camp, showing off on stage in The Three Bears or telling spooky tales in the title story, Little Bear's Dragon, Hissey's characters--Rabbit, Old Bear, Little Bear, Bramwell Brown and many, many more-- prove that there is plenty of life in the old toy cupboard yet.
Ideal for parent and child to read together over and over again. (Ages 3 to 6 years) --Susan Harrison
