Best Christmas Picture Books Nov 10th 2011, 10:09 Brown Paper Teddy Bear In the children's Christmas picture book Brown Paper Teddy Bear, a wish that almost every young child has comes true; toys come alive to play. What makes the book by Catherine Allison so appealing is that it is oversized (more than 12” by 12”), all of the pages are made out of sturdy brown paper, and the watercolors by artist Neil Reid beautifully illustrate the astonishing events that begin with a very special teddy bear. It all starts one winter night when little Jessica is awakened by a bright light and finds, in a chest of drawers she’s never seen before, a package wrapped in brown paper with a red ribbon tied around it. Inside is a bear that comes to life when she unwraps it. The bear and Jessica fly through the air to a magical room filled with old-fashioned toys, all of which have come to life to play with her. They include a jack-in-the-box, toy soldiers, a stuffed monkey, a wooden dog, a toy train, dolls, and a clown. When Jessica wakes up the next morning, she finds out that her grandfather knows all about the best; it belongs to him. (Scholastic, 2004. ISBN: 9780439639002) Compare prices.
