Biscuit Bear

The children in my Y1 class loved this book. It's about a pastry bear who comes alive at night, makes some friends and has a party with them. The ending is a bit sad and slightly alarming though! Stop reading if you don't want to know the ending but basically all the biscuit friends are massacred by Bongo the dog! I might stick to a book with a less disturbing ending for the under 4 or 5s!

Excellent read

This is my 5 year old boys favourite book, we have read it so many times and I had to buy a biscuit bear cutter so we can make our own biscuit bears.Brilliant illustrations and a great story about a boy who makes a biscuit bear and the adventures the biscuit bear has.Really is lovely, fun and perfect for bed time as not too exciting but still fun for a 5 year old.A book to read together and keep forever.

A fantastic story. It has suspense and is very original. I have used it in English lessons for the children to write their own stories with some similar features.Loses one star as the book is smaller than the usual size for this kind of book.

This book is fantastic. My 3 year old is addicted to it. We first got it from the library and thought it was a bit ugly and odd, but once read we loved it and had to get our own copy. The pictures are great and the story lovely. I would recommend it for any child, but especially for one that loves cooking.

Excellent children's book

My daughter loves this book! Mini Grey is a fantastic author; we know this book inside out but still love it. Needless to say, we have cooked many biscuit bears and friends at my daughter's request!

Bought as a gift, looks fine, well received.

J'adore cette histoire et après l'avoir lu pendent des années à mes propres enfants je l’achète maintenant comme cadeau pour les autres.

The illustrations in this book are a delight reading after reading, so imaginative and vibrant children will find new details each time. Reality and dreams intermix with pleasure and some naughty pet behavior, but in the end everything works out. The cd reading is also delightful.

ずいぶん前に買ってから、久しぶりに目を通してみたけれど、とにかく、ビスケットくまも、男の子のホーラスも、表情がいいのに、あらためておどろいた。とにかく、目が生き生きしている。サーカスのシーンなんて、ちょっと見には、グロテスクな気もしないでもないが、子どもは好きなのではないだろうか。

Biscuit Bear  Wonderful illustrations along with good story. A favorite of many grandchildren. Biscuit Bear

食べられてしまう運命にあるクッキーが、安寧の地を求めて旅立つ物語です。　クッキーのくまちゃんがお友達がほしくて自分でクッキー作りをする姿も可愛らしいし、お友達のクッキーたちがバラエティー豊かで楽しく可愛らしい分、その後に訪れる悲劇はショッキングで、子供に見せるのをちょっとためらうシーンです。しょせんクッキーなんですけどね・・・、その前のページまでが、クッキーがクッキーに見えなくなるくらい、本当に楽しいシーンなのです。そして最後、そこがどうしてクッキーのくまちゃんにとって安全で永住の地になれるのか、４歳の子供にわかるように説明するのはちょっと難しかったです。　でも、読んだ後は、食べ物ひとつ、クッキー１枚でも、愛情を込めて見ることができる優しい気持ちになれます。　ちなみに冒頭で、男の子が小麦生地を粘土代わりにこねて遊んで汚ったな〜〜くしてしまう場面には「あるある！そうそう！」と笑ってしまいました。
