The Cinnamon Bear

The Cinnamon Bear

Glanville Heisch

Start a new family's tradition this year with The Cinnamon Bear! This old time radio classic was originally broadcast in 1937 across Portland's airwaves. Children gathered nightly beginning at Thanksgiving until Christmas. Now you can, too! Join Judy and Jimmy through the enchanted world of Maybeland to recover their missing Silver Star that belongs on their Christmas tree. Helping on the search is the Cinnamon Bear, a stuffed bear with shoe-button eyes and a green ribbon around his neck. They meet other memorable characters during their quest, including the Crazy Quilt Dragon (who repeatedly tries to take the star for himself), the Wintergreen Witch, Fe Fo the Giant and Santa Claus.

Twins Judy and Jimmy Barton have written their letters to Santa and are decorating their Christmas tree when they discover that the silver star ornament is missing. After much thinking with their mother, they remember that Uncle Ned put some of the ornaments in the attic so up to the attic they go in search of the star. Instead they find a four inch tall stuffed bear, a quilt and a spyglass. As Jimmy is looking through the spyglass, he sees the bear move which is just not possible. By way of introduction, he sings "I"m the Cinnamon Bear with the Shoe Button Eyes". The bear's name is Paddy O'Cinnamon. He tells the kids that the Crazy Quilt Dragon stole the star and he wants to help them get it back.
