We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we're helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.

From the publisher

Reiner Zimnik was born in Poland and began drawing—horses and knights, mostly—at the age of five. At the end of the Second World War, he and his family left for the West, settling in Germany. After apprenticing as a cabinet-maker, Zimnik studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, and has since written and illustrated many books for children, including The Bear on the Motorcycle and The Crane. About himself he says, “I love nature, the simple life, and ordinary people. I like eating and drinking, and have a tendency toward idleness and daydreaming.”

Media reviews

"A beautiful, unusual deceptively simple tale of two friends: a talking, dancing bear, Brown One; and the Bearman…Pen-and-ink illustrations are in harmony with the text and children of almost any age should be caught up in this deeply moving story."
— Library Journal, Starred Review

"A folktale, humble and profound, about a love which exists of and for itself, as a gentle counterpart to indifferent nature and endless time. This is a such a lovely book."
— Natalie Babbitt, The New York Times Book Review

"The power of good over evil is interpreted with touching simplicity and good humor."
— Booklist"[A] beautiful and haunting account of a dancing bear traveling through a pre-modern European countryside with a loving companion known only as the Bearman...The sly reference to the rarity of true kindness is an early hint of the surprising and sometimes dark places this powerful parable will take us."—The San Francisco Chronicle
