King Leonard's Teddy by Phoebe Swan - ADVISABLE

King Leonard's Teddy by Phoebe Swan, 36 pages. PICTURE BOOK. Child’s Play Inc, 2019. $11.

Content: G

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

King Leonard only ever uses things once -- why not throw it away when you can buy a new one? But that won’t work with King Leonard’s teddy bear. Can anyone fix his teddy?

The blatant message in the end made me chuckle: King Leonard teaches readers that it is both fun and important to reduce, reuse, and recycle. I didn’t know that lesson was coming, and Swan’s cleverness was appreciated.
