Bear Party

I am replacing a book my father got for me 55 years ago or so. The book was misplaced in transit and when I made the seller aware of the problem it was fixed in a timely fashion. The book is in new condition and Woody's books was responsive to my need. Great Job.

I grew up with this book and it made a lasting impression on me. It's the costumes I remember from childhood.

This quiet gem of a book has illustrations which transcend the merely beautiful - they evoke a kind of deeply-felt otherworldliness, in the same way that dreams can. I had this book as a child, and it left a special, magical, imprint unlike any other book I remember. It's a nice story as well. It's a pity that it seems to be out of print. Grab it if you have the chance. I have only seen ( & own) the hardcover edition, so I don't know how thw softcover measures up.

This book teaches children about being creative in making freinds and how simple it is to be freindly and have a good time. My children loved it and we read it repeatedly.

The bears of Koala Park in Australia all become angry and stop speaking to each other. This bothers the wise old bear so he decides to throw a costume ball, where they can become friendly again not knowing who they are talking to. Beautifully illustrated by the author, this was a 1951 Caldecott Honor book.
