The Story of Solomon Bear brought back many childhood memories for me.  I felt the story envelope me like a warm, fuzzy blanket, and I was immediately lost in it's lyrical narrative.  For anyone who has ever read  the tale of  The Velveteen Rabbit, you will once again find yourself being transported back to a time of tender innocence and unconditional love in this story as well.The writing style of this book  reminds me of that of The Little Prince in that it is a simple, child-like tale conveyed in a more sophisticated vocabulary than that of  the normal children's story.  The tale is quite poignant, and I found myself getting a little choked up at times as I was reading.  The Story of Solomon Bear is about the unconditional love between a little girl and her bear.  It shows us how in a home that does not offer either love or joy, this little girl finds solace in her bond with her stuffed toy.At one point, the girl's stepmother decides that the girl is spending too much time with her "lifeless toy" and takes Solomon away from her.  The little girl runs into the forest and does not return for a long while.  Solomon is lost without his "Princess" and will do anything to get her back, so he goes to the other toys for advice.  The bear's quest for the return of his beloved little girl is a story that should be shared with young and old enough.Do yourself a favor and get a copy of this book.  You won't regret it, and if you're like me, you will want a hard-copy to place on the shelf right next to your cherished copies of The Velveteen Rabbit and The Little Prince.I would like to thank the author for providing me with a copy of this ebook  in exchange for a honest review.
