DESCRIPTION: The heart-warming, scary and funny story of a boy's life, told through a teddy bear's eyes. A teddy bear comes into a little boy's life in 1950 when his mother is about to have a new baby. The teddy tells the story of his life - being dragged around, inside and out, on bikes, in wheelbarrows, on all sorts of adventures - and always being well loved. He even learns to read with the boy. As Teddy tells his story, he's also telling the boy's story. And the boy, of course, grows up - and Teddy gets left behind sometimes, once even on the beach overnight. Eventually the boy grows up and Teddy is put away in a trunk where he stays - for 17 years, when he is rediscovered by the boy's three daughters. This complex story has a very poignant back story of Teddy's first owner; it's a memoir of the author's life; it's a moving universal story of the place of a loved toy; and it's a charming depiction of love and loss. Beautifully told and illustrated by the award-winning bestselling author Gavin Bishop
