A 'pretend friend' story with a difference, since this pretend friend is a bear. Jenny loves bears and has a collection of toy ones, but wants a real bear to come to stay. She prepares the garden shed as a home for any bears that may be passing and is delighted when one arrives to play. His first visit is brief but when the snow falls he returns to spend the winter with Jenny. Imaginatively told and with warm, interesting illustrations, this will be popular with any child who loves teddies.
