MY REVIEW
Bartie Bristle by the Teddy Bear Ladies, Julie Tatchell and Amanda Middleditch are really cute stories all about Bartie Bristle and other teddy bears. I fell in love with the whole entire book, with delightful teddy bear stories and amazing illustrations. I just know all children, as well as adults are going to love all these wonderful stories. My favourite story is about how Mrs T and Rose who made Bartie the bear, who didn’t have a name and was simply called Logo. Mrs T and Rose made a box from a shoe box, then decided to run a competition asked everyone who came in their shop to think of a name. And this is how Logo the bear got a new name Bartie Bristle. There are many other brilliant short stories teddy bear stories for children to love and read. I know this book will be cherished by all children, that’s why I recommend buying it. I know for sure Bartie Bristle and Other Stories will make a perfect present. And if children have a teddy bear and not sure what to call it, I would say Bertie Bristle would be the top choice of names.
I would like to thank walker books so much for sending me this gorgeous teddy bear book, to read and review.
