That is until Elsie almost ends up getting blown away by a gust of wind! Thankfully, these brave toys are always ready to rescue a friend in need and the party is saved, just in time for cake. Elsie is trying her best to help everyone but whilst her enthusiasm can’t be faulted she is a little over excitable and somewhat clumsy!Īfter some exuberant present wrapping and a near miss with the cake the party gets underway. All the toys are busying themselves with the preparations Little Bear is wrapping presents, Jolly Tall is on balloons and Bramwell Brown has the job of making the cake. Old Bear is a much loved member of the family of toys and as his birthday approaches his friends are preparing to make his day just as special as he is with a party in the garden. We even have a new character in this book, a very lovable elephant named Elsie. Happy Birthday Old Bear published by Scribblers. Old Bear is one of my favourite books from when I was a child (read our review here), it was published 30 years ago and now, author and illustrator Jane Hissey has written a new book to celebrate.
