I would like to thank both NetGalley and MacMillan Children's Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book. All opinions are my own.

Book Review:

I just love reading the books that this author writes. She makes you feel all the feelings. I gave this book 4 stars. In this book a bear is rescued from the trash bin, and a smaller bear is charge of a group of rescued toys in a second chance shop. The owner's daughter cleans them up and gives them a little biography. The little bear is called a mascot bear, and he is from the first world war. He thinks he knows something about the new bear and it has affected him. Will the owners discover the truth about the new addition and what will they do. 

I really enjoy the way the author included this history about two different types of bears. It is a great way to learn, and the children will love it. In fact, I would say read it with your children because it can lead to a great discussion about the past.
