His first episode or book adventure is Hooligan Bear: Home, and that is what we're going to look at today. Hooligan and his nephew, Louie, are going home to the bear factory. They enter into the factory only to find it deserted. No bears. No anything! This is home. What are they to do? Hooligan being the loving, caring "elder bear" he is, assures his nephew Louie that they'll find a spot for home.
They find a shelf to live on and then go looking for a bed for Louie. The adventures begin. I found the adventure fun and laughable and sure to tickle the fancy of young children who are adventurers at heart. The tenderness of Hooligan for Louie is reflected in the words and actions of the bear as well as the soft, finely crafted illustrations that bring the character and feelings of the bears to life on the pages of Hooligan Bear: Home.
I highly recommend the book for home and libraries.

ReplyDeleteI've always loved teddy bears, I'm a granny now but if I had my way I would still have teddy bears all over!
ReplyDeleteI had my "Henry" til I was 36yrs old. He was thrown out by my fiancé who thought it was childish. I am 43yrs old now & I still want to kill him. I loved Henry!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has a favorite teddy bear that she remembers getting from Santa. To this day she remembers waking up to her Teddy Bear next to her. She was so surprised and thrilled that Santa came up to see her!
ReplyDeleteWe don't necessarily always use teddy bears as security stuffed friends in our family. Although we do have some bears (lots, in fact, among 14 grandchildren!) but each does have something that is special to them. As a child, I had a stuffed rabbit that became quite raggedy. Once a dog carried it off, right out of my hands! I was devastated; and then ever so happy when my parents ran after the dog & brought him back home to me.
ReplyDeleteI remember winning a Koala Bear at the local Japanese Obon Festival. Because I felt that I had earned the bear, he was important to me.
ReplyDeleteMy father-in-law has 9 grandchildren, and for every single one, he has given them their first teddy bear at the hospital. He is a very quiet man, sort of gruff, and I just love that he is a big old teddy bear!
ReplyDeleteMy son, who is now 19, had a teddy bear that he carried with him all the time. He slept with him until mid-grade school. I have his special teddy sitting in our spare bedroom. <3
ReplyDeleteI still have my first toy, a Winnie the Pooh teddy bear and it was my first gift to my daughter.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I actually received 3 books in the series and they are all very nice for reading at bedtime. They are well illustrated and not too long and the Hooligan Bear book is exciting. Thanks again.
