The victorian winter bear
584669
This Bearington Victoria bear is all set for winter, being all new so nothing is missing, the clothes are all there and Bearington bears have a hanging tag on them and that was even there. This bear is so cute and I love the clothes, I even wish I had that kind of outfit for myself to wear. These clothes are made with good material and sewn real good. I will cherish this bear for years to come. The bear was mailed to me in no time at all, thank you for that, because I couldn't wait to get this bear for my collection.

This movie was really great... I enjoyed it.  Since I've been retired, I've been buying many of these Victorian era movies because I like to watch them in the winter time when I can't get out in the garden.  It's nice to cuddle up with the kitty and nice cup of tea and watch a good romantic story.  There really hasn't been any Victorian era DVD that I haven't liked so far... yes some are much better than others but I seem to like most of them just fine, and this was a very interesting story.

We enjoyed this book. I've enjoyed the Berenstain Bears since I was a little girl, and I'm glad to see that my daughters enjoy them as well. The book is short enough to keep the attention of young readers (ages 2-5 is the recommended age group), and the illustrations are fun. What's really fun about this book is that on every page the children will get to lift the flap to see what's hidden underneath as the Berenstain Bears gather all the sculptures from the bear manger scene which celebrates Jesus' birth.

Coco liked that the book is about celebrating God and the birth of Jesus. Lulu liked following the bear family as they looked for all the pieces of the manger, as well as the final page where the manger comes together.

We will read this book again and again as we get closer to Christmas.

Christmas is coming to the Big Blue House, but it seems like the minds of our friends Tutter, Ojo, Treelo and Pip and Pop just aren't on the holidays. They keep stealing glances out the window and are kinda sad because it's dry and windy outside and there's no snow.

Bear helps them all to see that even without snow, it's the holiday spirit that truly makes Christmas great. Another wonderful, and original, "Bear in the Big Blue House" story. The characters look like they do on the TV show, but the rest of the illustrations are original and done by a veteran pro at illustrating Muppet books --- Tom Brannon.

I don't always love books with sounds but it really works for this one. A brilliant colorful story on its own, polar bear polar bear what do you hear only becomes better with the addition of the animal noises.

It might not have many descriptions about the items but if you just love the images, get this book. It has full page illustrations and it is so enjoyable just to look through it. It is also a thicker book than i thought it would be, almost 300 pages. So if you want uncolored illustrations of victorian fashion, you'll love this book.

This is an excellent book to explain what happens during each season of the year in regard to the leaves and trees.  Told with a bear family exploring each season together, shows it can be a family exploring together.  Love it.

I love this book!!  The illustrations are wonderful and they always captured my attention.  The story is of a little polar bear, Lars who goes on an adventure away from his clean, white home in the North Pole.  He makes a new friend, who helps him on his adventure.
I still love this book. I take it babysitting with me sometimes, and all the kids have liked it too.

I love this book! A beautiful tour of Bear Country with larger and more detailed illustrations that remind me of classics like Almanac and the original Christmas Tree!

I was surprised that Cousin Tex had as big of a role but loved how they contrasted the Bear Country environment with that of west Texas. This book really stokes the imagination of kids and for me personally was a great throwback to some classic Berenstain Bears books (including a visit to The Spooky Old Tree!!!).

One of my favorite new releases from the Berenstain Bears!

I absolutely love the Bearfield Bears. I received a copy of A Honeybear Christmas free in exchange for an honest opinion. After reading this most excellent book I had to buy the whole book Shifters in the Snow. Honey Bear Christmas had so many turns, twists and surprises it was very full for a short story. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the book now.

One Christmas Bear, written and illustrated by Anne Vittur Kennedy.

This counting book is delightful and cheery. Arctic animals and pops of color on a cold snowy background make for charming, uncluttered illustrations. Rhyming text tells the number story from 1 to 10 in a simple yet fun style.

I'm quite excited to tuck this board book away for Christmas 2018 when there will be some new little ones to snuggle up with and read to.

Thanks to FrontGate Media for this complimentary copy of One Christmas Bear, in exchange for this review.

Grumpy Badger is a modern (and animal-inspired) take on the classic tale of the miserly Scrooge. While all the other woodland creatures are busy preparing for Christmas, Badger holes himself up in his home, preparing to hibernate for the winter. He refuses to be cajoled into taking part in the festivities, and his only source of enjoyment is to gaze at his vast store of rations for the long hibernation ahead.

When little Mole asks for Badger's help to decorate the Christmas tree, Badger rudely chases Mole away. It is only later, when Mole gets into trouble, that Badger's conscience pricks him into action, and setting things right. The ending is wonderfully upbeat, with a festive-inspired feast and party not to be forgotten anytime soon by the woodland creatures. Young children will delight in this beautifully-illustrated holiday tale.

Wonderful romantic Victorian read, with interesting subplots and definitely a great deal of research. Obviously the author has a love of Dickens that definitely shown through like a beacon, but the reference dropping was bearable.
The characters were full and colorful, and thankfully far more realistic than some Victorian romances out there in publication.
I highly recommend this for those that have a free afternoon that wants for some tea and fun reading.
