If you made a drawing of the cinnamon bear, and sent it in to the radio station here, they might pick your name as a winner. We would drive home from Spokane on Sunday nights, and listen to it. I still remember them saying my name on the radio and going to pick up the prizes. I miss those simple things. I remember The Cinnamon Bear.

My mother-in-law was excited about these but got my son a book version. It was significantly abridged (which she didn't know...bought it online), and the illustrations were reminiscent of computer animation. As a whole, it was disappointing, but in a way that suggested that the radio program itself could have been really good. I'll have to listen to these and see if the original is as good as the hype.
