Old Bear | Homeschooling with Cozy Books

Old Bear by Jane Hissey embodies pretty much everything Caroline loves most in books, namely talking stuffed animals who go on adventures.

I purchased this book when I was teaching first grade, long before I became a mother. But I knew that Caroline would love it when I brought it out for her.



 

Old Bear

The animals realize that Old Bear has been gone a long time. He was packed away in the attic because he was quite worn and the children weren’t taking good care of him.

Bramwell Brown, Duck, Little Bear, and Rabbit decide that it is time to rescue Old Bear from the attic and bring him home. The book is full of their adventures as they try to help Old Bear.

The life-like illustrations are charming and cozy. It’s a sweet story of friendship, love, and perseverance. Old Bear definitely belongs on your bookshelf!

    I have an Old Bear like that. But my Old Bear won’t stay in the loft. He made that plain years ago, when my husband was working away. He came down from the loft and has never gone back. So all the other bears get to talk to him every day when we’re out. They’ve probably found out by now that I was just as batty before I met my husband. And just as much an arctophile then as I am now, too.

For 20+ years, I’ve been writing about following Jesus Christ and making choices based on what is true, beautiful, and eternal. Through purposeful living, self-employment, and homeschooling, our family has learned that freedom comes from a commitment to examine all of life and think for yourself. 

I hope you will join me here where we discuss all of life each day.

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
