The Gift Shop Bear Written/ Illustrated by Phyllis Harris Book Review






The Gift Shop Bear is a book about a Christmas bear who lives in the gift shop and he only comes out of the attic at Christmas time. He is always so happy when he is able to see Annie. They shared a cute friendship together. They would share secrets, make crafts, have hot cocoa, watch the snow fall, and listen to the carolers. Many kids wanted to buy bear but he wasn’t for sale. At night, he would be placed under the display Christmas tree in the shop’s window. He would dread the day that Christmas was over and when he would be put back upstairs. Until one day, something happened to change everything the store was closing. 

 




 

I would recommend this wonderful Christmas book to any child aged 3-9. The book is a very heartwarming story of a little girl and a bear and their special friendship. I liked how it had they both shared an everlasting bond and how they would both miss each other during the other seasons. The book displayed to children the importance of friendship and the longing to be together even when you’re far apart. I loved how colorful the illustrations were and how detailed they were. The book has the beautiful graphics to appeal to children.
