Great book to add to your little one's library! Over sized, 12"x12" book that they're sure to love! Great condition-as seen in the photo, there is writing on the first page. This book begs to be noticed, not because it explores new literary realms (which it doesn't) but for its fine illustrations and oversized format. The large, square pages will entice children into this fantasy. The warm, playful watercolor art is printed on brown paper, adding weight and richness to the detailed scenes. The sepia tone supports a celebration of long-ago times. In the toy room, Jessica and its inhabitants stand shoulder-to-shoulder, equal in size, and her delight in playing in their world is palpable. Overall, the art carries this tale while the text is simply serviceable. - Martha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MI A magical teddy bear leads Jess on an exciting journey to a place where stuffed toys can talk and porcelain dolls can dance. 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. Check out my other items!
