Book details

Brown Paper Bear
Description
When Jess goes to stay at Grandad's house she thinks it's awfully bare and lonely. But then she discovers a special bear, wrapped in brown paper and hidden away in a cupboard, which whisks her away on a magical adventure. Soon Jess is marching with a set of tin soldiers, dancing with a beautiful china doll, and riding on a gleaming toy train. Jess is sick in bed, and to make her feel better, Granddad promises her a brand-new teddy bear. But before she drifts off to sleep, Jess notices a small door that magically opens. Jess unties the ribbon around a brown paper bag and finds a careworn old teddy bear inside. He takes Jess on a wonderful adventure through the night sky to a place where toys come to life. Jess marches with toy soldiers, rides a toy train, and dances with a porcelain doll before she returns home to her loving grandfather.
