In a troubled home, a girl and her teddy bear share a promise to keep love alive. When the girl runs away, Solomon Bear takes the hunt for her upon himself. On his quest he turns to other toys for help, discovering a voice no one guessed he had.At once a children's romance and an adult fable recalling lost innocence, Solomon Bear appeals to readers of all ages. For while a taste for porridge or marmalade might make a bear appear more human, Solomon would remind us: it is love that brings us all to life.The Story of Solomon Bear follows the tradition of wistful European fairy-tales like The Velveteen Rabbit, The Little Prince, and Oscar Wilde's Fairy Tales.Solomon Bear is an illustrated chapter book of around 90 pages. Recommended for ages six to sixty. Some of the language may be too complex for early readers. Internal illustrations are black and white.
