REVIEW

by Ceri Vines

As this rather strange book puts it, the life of a biscuit is usually short and sweet -- can Biscuit Bear beat the odds?
He survives being scoffed by the little boy who made him, but is then forced to flee a kitchen massacre when the biscuity friends he bakes to provide him with some company are torn apart by a marauding dog. He eventually finds peace and security as the centrepiece of a baker's shop window display.

An inventive but slightly disturbing tale.

REVIEW

by Ashley Platt and Sam Platt

My five year old daughter has a vivid imagination. So Biscuit Bear seemed an appropriate choice as a bedtime read.

The 'comimg to life' of unsual objects in the middle of the night concept isn't a new one, but to our little girl, it has that special air of magic about it.
