Pocket Bear, Hardcover by Applegate, Katherine, ISBN 1420530089, ISBN-13 9781420530087, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US A Junior Library Guild Selection A 1 New York Times Bestselling Author A Newbery Award–Winning Author Thimble-born from tip to toe, Pocket Bear remembers every moment of his becoming: the glimmering needle, the silken thread, the tender hands as each careful stitch brought him closer to himself. Born during the throes of WWI, he was designed to fit into the pocket of a soldier's jacket, eyes sewn a bit higher than normal so that he always gazed upward. That way, glancing at his pocket, a soldier would see an endearing token of love from someone back home, and, hopefully, a good luck charm. Now, over a century later, Pocket serves as unofficial mayor of Second Chances Home for the Tossed and Treasured, where stuffed toy animals are refurbished and given a fresh opportunity to be loved.
