They try all sorts of strange sleeping places drawers, baskets, bowls and hammocks but there always seems to be a problem. When Old Bear falls out and bumps his head the toys decide it would be a good idea to try and find somewhere else to sleep. Her 1986 picture book Old Bear made it into Booklist's "Editor's Choice" list for children's books for that year in an earlier starred review, Barbara Elleman praised Hissey' use of perspective, texture, and colors. The bed where all the toys sleep is getting rather crowded. She now lives in East Sussex with her husband, Ivan, and three children. Hissey studied Design and Illustration at Brighton and became an art teacher at a sixth form college until the birth of her first child. The art medium she uses is coloured pencils, which enables her to accurately record the textures and details that children and adults have come to expect from her highly-detailed illustrations. Later her childhood bear was joined by other soft toy characters, which she draws on nearly an every day basis. During her childhood he was a main focus of her games and then, thirty-two years later, he became the inspiration for her first illustrated book. She is best known for her series of children's books Old Bear and Friends which became the basis for a BAFTA award winning television series Old Bear Stories, episodes of which were released on VHS by Carlton Video.Īccording to Hissey's Old Bear Diary, Old Bear was given to her by her grandmother when she was a baby. Jane Hissey was born in Norwich in 1952 and currently lives in East Sussex. (United Kingdom, England, Norfolk, East of England)
