Customer Reviews

I beg to differ

I LOVE Albert the Bear! He is so very, very sad looking but actually a happy spirit inside. The illustrations in this lovely book are enchanting and captivating. I eagerly await the next Albert book later this year (2008).

A Great Story

My 4 year old daughter loves this story. I have to read it to her on a monthly basis. The other stories by Nick (Percy the Park Keeper Series) is as great. I plan to get the entire series (once I can afford it).

Fun reading!

Albert the Bear is a fun, whimsical and endearing story. I have sooo much fun reading it to my 4 year old and she LOVES the story. It's one of those stories that we never tire of and are more than happy to have it as the FAVORITE bedtime story. If you haven't read it, you need to - and it'll soon become a favorite!

Charming and a wonderful message for all of us

This book is so amusing and will keep a child's interest throughout the story as the other toys decide that Albert needs some cheering up. While Albert tries to stop them so sweetly, the story becomes terribly funny as the toys basically make matters worse. The moral? Don't believe what you see. Such a lovely story about an adorable little bear who showed his friends a different perspective!
