The Gift Shop Bear by Phyllis Harris

 

The Gift Shop Bear written and illustrated by Phyllis Harris is a warm and beautiful story of belonging. The book is large with a dust jacket and measures over nine inches each way. It is just lovely to read with your whole family. We thought the illustrations were just gorgeous. The story about Annie and the bear did indeed have a classic, timeless feel. It will be a keeper and one we read every year in our family. On the first read through, I did rather tear up at the ending. I just thought it was a beautiful story of love, friendship and belonging. While it is written for ages four to seven, it is really a book that can be enjoyed by the whole family.


I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions within this review are my own.
