I don't often buy or read children books, but I've read other books by this author and wanted to see how he presented his philosophy in a book which both adult and child will treasure. In an old family home, there are three dolls that are stored in an attic. The Campbell family tradition is that when children come to visit, that they are allowed to go up into the attic and choose a toy. They must care for it for as long as they want it, but when done, it must be returned to the attic. Bean Bag Bunny, Calico Kitty, Rag Doll Rose all look up for guidance from Wise Bear William when they find out the next day children will be arriving. This story is packed with values for everyone at any age. I'm so impressed with the lessons gently told by Wise Bear William. Arthur Wooten and illustrator Bud Santora have created a book to be treasured as much as any well-loved toys of children. Fantastic!

Wise Bear William A New Beginning Arthur Wooten Bud Santora 9780983563167 Books Reviews

Wise Bear William is the captain of the attic where worn out toys wait for children to come for them. The Campbell's have an old family tradition. For generations, their children come to the attic to choose one toy to love. When the children grow up the toys are sent back to the attic.
When the toys hear the children coming, Rag Doll Rose, Bean Bag Bunny and Calico Kitty depend on Wise Bear William to get them ready. The captain would use everything in the attic to mend them and tell them all he knows about what makes a child love a toy. They have one chance to be a child's best friend. But there is one thing that they can't do anything about not everyone will be picked. The toys begin to get ready replacing missing eyes, propping up droopy ears and mending all rips and tears.
Wise Bear William's words of wisdom that it's what is on the inside that counts, and everyone is special ring true for not only the toys but for the book's readers as well. This is a sweet, charming and humorous story!
WISE Bear William A New Beginning! is well written and the illustrations are vivid and beautiful. It's an entertaining story for its readers of all ages that includes a lesson about compassion, remembering promises and helping others and it's what is on the inside the matters the most. You will laugh and cry with these lovable characters. I read it with my six year-old, grandson and I had tears in my eyes too!
Arthur Wooten is no novice at storytelling being a critically acclaimed novelist and playwright.. His novels include Birthday Pie, and On Picking Fruit, and Fruit Cocktail. The wonderful pictures are by award-winning designer and illustrator, Bud Santora. ~Author J.D. Holiday
Wise Bear William is the story about the tattered old toys that live in the Campbell's attic. Traditionally generations of children, when visiting the house, have come into the attic to choose one toy each; one that they would love until they are too old for it, at which time the toy would be returned to the attic. The toys currently residing in the attic are a floppy-eared rabbit called Bean Bag Bunny, a one-eyed cat aptly named Calico Kitty and a very shabby rag doll known as Rag Doll Rose. When they hear there will be children visiting the house, they all want to be chosen, but soon realise they are a bit the worse for wear. They turn to Wise Bear William, Captain of the attic, for suggestions and advice on how to make themselves more personable and lovable. William helps them all, but also tells them that no matter how much they spruce themselves up on the outside, it will always be the inside that matters.
I had heard good things of Wise Bear William before I was asked by the author to review it. When I did read it, it passed all expectations - It is simply sublime. Just opening this book took me straight back to my childhood. Both the sumptuous illustrations and the divine story-line seemed to leap straight off the pages of the old-fashioned story books I used to read.
I adored the little mouse with spectacles which appeared in so many of the glorious illustrations! In fact the youngest member of the family spent quite some time scouring all the illustrations hoping to find him on every page - which, although she didn't, was great fun.
The characters are expertly drawn and extremely lovable and the reader is taken through a range of emotions, from joy and hope to sadness and back again, in a very short space of time. I found Wise Bear William to be especially sweet with his spectacles and waistcoat, and his exquisite caring demeanour. I think most of us can relate to this story. After all, who doesn't have a care-worn old teddy stored away somewhere, or perhaps a doll or a stuffed cat or dog.
This book is one to keep and cannot fail to appeal to children of all ages. I will certainly be putting it on my to-be-read-again-soon shelf.
What a wonderful book! I just bought this for my niece but I think I'm keeping this copy and will have to buy another. Wise Bear William is a gentle primer on how to be a good friend and how selflessness is worth the effort. William also comically demonstrates how to let pass unintentional hurtful comments from well meaning friends. In an age where kids don't know how to interact with each other, hopefully this book can spark some after-reading conversation! The book is never preachy, and has a gorgeously illustrated cast of imperfect but lovable characters. Kudos to Arthur Wooten for a great story and to Bud Santora for gorgeously detailed illustrations. Too bad I can't pet the velvet and mohair!!
