Customer Reviews

I love Edith and the Bears

I too am so happy to see some of these books back in print to share with my daughter. Edith learns some important lessons in this story about the consequences of being untruthful and playing with matches. Learning important lessons isn't always easy and painless as she finds out. The important thing is that she has loving and caring guidance from Mr. Bear. I hope to see more of these books back in print. I have heard that "A Gift from the Lonely Doll" will be out just in time for the holidays this year. I certainly hope so and look forward to it.

Edith & Mr. Bear

After having read many books in the Edith and Mr. Bear series as a child I was thrilled and overcome with extreme emotion to have found them again. Having two small girls of my own I hope they will love them as much as me and my twin sister did growing up. I also found two of my favorites (Edith and the Kitten, and Edith Learns and Lesson) on a rare books site, and quickly snatched them up. This time I will cherish them and hopefully I will be able to keep them for my grandchildren and great grandchildren. I've been searching for these books for over 4 years, my search is over. Thank You.

Favorite childhood memories...

Like "A reader from Minnesota" (my old home state) I cannot count the number of times I checked the Lonely Doll books out of the library as a child. The pictures and stories have stuck with me my whole life and are some of my favorite childhood memories. I nearly wept with happiness when I found out these were coming back into print. I anxiously await the rest of the titles in the series!

I've finally found her!

As a young child I was waiting at the hospital to visit my Grandmother and someone had left this wonderful book outside on a picnic table. I looked through it as my uncle read it to me.Unlike all of my books at home, I could actually understand on my own what was going on. When it was time to leave, as it wasn't my book, I left it on that bench. I have spent the last 30 years trying to describe this doll to people so I could find her again. This was an important book to a small girl back then and an important book to this woman today. The photographs are so beautiful! Enjoy!

Edith and Mr. Bear

I have very fond memories of dragging every book in Dare Wright's Edith series home from the library as a child. These books are magical. The photo's are set up beautifully and each story teaches very important lessons. It is very exciting to see Edith, little Bear and Mr. Bear back in print again. My three year old and I are anxiously awaiting the rest of the series. I am very thankful that they are in print again.
