I enjoyed the book, but I thought that the end was too sad. I liked Tiny the best because he reminded me of my friend. I would recommend it to older children. It was too sad for a 7-year-old.

If I was to recommend it to someone it would be to any age of people like a Child or a teenager who has not yet red it. I liked the bear Brono because he was a lonely and a kind 🐻 bear.

i think the book was ok, but it was fiction and it had a sad ending. I enjoyed the bear the most as it is quite cute. (I am a boy)

This is a very short book about an orphan girl, who finds a bear cub in the mountains. The girl really wants to take care of him, but her very grumpy grandfather, who only wants stuff to do with money, says no. Eventually the village manages to persuade him. Many years pass and the girl and the bear are happy. But then, a film crew arrives, in search of a dancing bear... It's not my favourite book, it's really just a short story without much adventure.

It's a short story about an orphan girl who finds a bear cub. She wants to take care of him but she has a really grumpy grandfather who only wants things to do with money. Eventually the village persuades him to take the bear cub in. The bear becomes very popular and after many years a film crew stops by. They want to make a film involving a dancing bear. But the bear only wants to dance when the orphan girl sings. It's not a very adventurous book, I didn't particularly like it.

I liked the bear when he was dancing. It was an excellent story. It was interesting because it taught us about people helping others. I would recommend the book

This fiction book is a sad story about a girl called Roxanne who makes friends with a bear. Bruno the bear gives her the confidence to try things but when she leaves to go on a tour around the world he is so sad that he pines away and dies.

It was very sad that the bear died and that Roxanne had left with Niki. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes acting.

The book was a great read. It told about the friendship between a girl called Roxanne and a bear cub called Bruno and how Bruno becomes part of the village. I did not expect the story to have a sad ending. I would recommend this book.
