review 1: The beginning of the book emphasizes how manyof the simple enjoyments in this generation aremostly lost an unappreciated like relaxing outsideto watch stars appear and finding different constellations.Also, enjoying God's creations and lying back to watchthe clouds move and appear to change into different forms.Miss Millie was such a person who did these things.The story begins with Miss Millie's goodness and ends theretoo. The bear felt like a blessing - a slight miracle - forher and when tragedy happens to a neighboring family, that is when Chester Blue came to be. After a series of lost and foundoccasions with the bear, each family was helped and it allcame back to Miss Millie.There were some typos but the big problem I had is discoveringwhen the first family left the a... morerea in the beginning and how Chester got into the strange barn.I won this through a Goodreads giveaway and want to thank the author for their generosity.
review 2: Oh my goodness, what a delightful story! Cute, cute, cute! A little teddy bear spreading God's love wherever he goes. Have you ever felt sad, then had something very simple happen and it just cheered you up, and you thought "That is just what I needed!" Well that is exactly what Chester Blue does.He seems to fall into the hands of the people who need him the most. I also love the little twist of having the blue thread in his suitcase and those finding him just happen to need the thread for something important. It almost has a magical quality to it! I love the way she describes the small town feel. I too live in a small town. "Honey, its not just Main St,the whole town is as quiet as a church on Monday. So many people have moved away, I believe we're the town that's been forgotten. Miss Millie looked down at her cup of coffee and frowned. This was terrible news. Blossom was a wonderful town. Yes, it was a small town and perhaps not as exciting as a big city. But there were so many good things about it. Why had people given up and moved away?"Another thing I loved about this story was the was she made the bear seem like a real character - "Chester Blue didn't say anything. He just looked at Sam and made sure that his suitcase was firmly tucked under his arm." "Chester sat on top of the box and stared ahead as the water and harbor full of boats drew closer and closer. He'd never seen so many boats and wondered what they were doing here." And everyone seems to talk to Chester too, even though they all know he is just a stuffed bear.THE ALL-IN-ALL -All in all this was a wonderfully delightful story! It is a chapter book so really meant for older children (maybe 8 - 12 yr. olds) but could also be used as a read-a-loud story. It is a cute story that will certainly be able to keep the attention of any child (or Adult!). I can't wait to read it to my future grandchildren! less
