Nop

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Nop is a heartwarming picture book from award-winning author-illustrator Caroline Magerl about two unlikely loners who forge a forever friendship.

The story introduces Nop, a scruffy kind of bear who sits on a dusty armchair in Oddmint's Dumporeum, surrounded and ignored by the other heaping heaps of goods. At night, these items are magically transformed by the beaders, knitters, patchers, and stitchers, ready to go to 'someplace wonderful' the next day.

As Nop watches the heap tumble, he gains inspiration and, armed with a new bow tie, devises an idea that will change his life forever. This tale captures the magic that lives inside even the scruffiest of bears.
