Winner of a Parents Choice Silver Honor AwardÂ
Teddy is a thinking kind of bear. Of all his friends, he does the most wondering. He lives with a ragtag group of lost toysâa very hungry snake, an elephant who likes to bake, two charmingly silly pigs, and a reclusive penguinâand they all bump along happily together. But their peaceful world gets shaken up when new toys arriveâfirst a rabbit, who is not as soft and floppy as he looks, and then a beautiful doll with royal ambitions. Will the newcomers learn to fit into the community? Or will the community be forever changed by them? As Teddy the philosopher would answer: Yes.
Â
Cynthia Voigtâs charming tale of community and compromise comes alive in the adorable pictures from Paola Zakimi. Fully illustrated and lovingly designed, this book would make a terrific gift or family read-aloud.
