Baggy Brown

Author: Mick Inkpen

The text and illustrations in this book interact well to produce good story-telling. As number one in a limited edition of 1000 and destined to be a first birthday gift for Princess Sophinyiniannia, daughter of the King and Queen of Thingland, Baggy Brown is a very special bear indeed.  But then he falls off the factory production line and is lost. His new owner, Alfie, realises the bear actually belongs to the Princess. Baggy Brown is returned… and… how does Inkpen make us smile as we reach the end? There are warmth and wit in huge dollops in this story to entrance and feed the imaginations of many an Inkpen/Kipper fan.
