AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

For every adventure a little boy and his stuffed bear go on, bear ends up a little worse for wear. By the end of their adventuring, the bear is left with only a body and head, which insidentally the boys loves because then he has to stay in bed and cuddle with him.

Any child who has loved a stuffed animal to pieces will appreciate this book. The pastel nature of the illustrations keep the age appeal pretty young. The story is simple, but perfectly sweet.
