Gretel is one big girl of a grizzly! Measuring a full 20" from nose to tail, she is a big love of a bear ready for lots of snuggles and a jolly good time. Her luxuriously dense alpaca mohair is a rich combination of cinnamon and a creamy white, with white pieces inset in her pattern to give her a white face, muzzle, inner ears, chest, belly, and even the tips of her toes! Even her pawpads keep to the cinnamon and white combination, with matching ultrasuede and cinnamon stitched claws. Gretel's olive glass eyes are a lovely match to her coloring, giving her a wonderfully bright-eyed expression.

If you're wondering about the name, we were thinking she looked like a gingerbread bear, and that got us thinking about the gingerbread house in the children's tale of Hansel and Gretel! (This Gretel promises not to eat your gingerbread house.)
