The Cinnamon Bear: Chapter 10
It’s another adventure with The Cinnamon Bear! Last time, Judy and Jimmy were on the Magic Island, where the Roly-Poly Policeman had taken their Silver Star for his uniform. But before the kids got to him, Crazy Quilt Dragon ran off with the Silver Star again!
Today: Chapter 10: Professor Whiz
In this chapter, Paddy, it seems, crossed an invisible boundary line, and so do the children, reuniting the group once again. An educated owl. Professor Whiz tells them that he’d spotted Crazy Quilt run into the nearby home of the feared Wintergreen Witch. They follow but find the home empty, except for a magical picture of a great forest. Stepping through the frame of the Picture into the woods, they meet tiny Fraidy Cat, who in a wee voice tells of a great giant who lives there. The trio and the kitten try to run when the giant approaches.

The Cinnamon Bear: Chapter 7
It’s another adventure with The Cinnamon Bear! Last time, the Wailing Whale explained in song why it enjoys ill health. And Crazy Quilt hit on the idea of tickling the polka-dotted Wesley until he coughs up the star. Did it work?
Today: Chapter 7: Presto, The Magician
In this chapter, Crazy Quilt swims our friends to show to dry out. They meet an incompetent magician, Mr. Presto, who, in demonstrating his magical prowess, mistakenly pulls Penelope from his hat. The angry bird complains that when the magician so rudely summoned her she dropped the star while flying over the Island of Obi. The group looks along the shore for a boat to take them to Obi. They discover, instead, a treasure chest and, moments later, they are surrounded by a band of Pirates.

The Cinnamon Bear: Chapter 5
Sorry, just a little behind on these chapters. I’ll be putting them on a schedule today.
Sharing things such as listening regularly to the Cinnamon Bear makes great Christmas family traditions. For years, our family tradition has been for my husband to read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe to our children. This year is no different. They are enjoying it once again. And we’ve added The Cinnamon Bear as another family tradition. It makes Christmas more memorable and special every year.
Today: Chapter 5: Weasley, The Wailing Whale
The execution is delayed when it’s discovered that the Royal Executioner is off for the day and his assistant can’t recall the exact wording of the ceremony. While the Inkaboos debate what to do, Crazy Quilt returns with the Scissors Soldiers who engage them in battle. In the turmoil, our group escape on the back of the dragon, who swims out to sea and safety. Judy spots the Silver Star floating on the surface of the water, but before they can recover it, the ornament is swallowed by Wesley the Wailing Whale.
