Old Bear and Friends

Old Bear and Friends is a popular series of children's books written by British author and illustrator Jane Hissey. The books became the basis for a BAFTA award winning television series Old Bear Stories.

The animals at the playroom have remembered that Old Bear disappeared long ago. He has been put into the loft. They rescue him and bring him back down to the playroom. He becomes the most respected toy and guides the others in their many adventures. The most recent book to be published was Splash in 2003, which was the first book where the toys leave the house and garden.
