One day, a boy accidentally leaves his much-loved teddy bear on a chair in the park. Night falls and the bear"s adventure starts when an owl carries him off in its claws. With the help of a passing trombonist, the bear lives to tell the tale, and is happily reunited with his boy the following day. As the book is written in rhyming couplets, it"s easy for young children to join in with the storytelling. And it"s a wonderful cautionary tale for anyone who"s ever shouted "I don"t want to go home. I want to stay in the park forever". (Ages 2 to 5) --Lisa Gee A Big Book edition is also available.
