When a little girl gets a teddy bear for her birthday, she leaves it in the dog's water bowl. the dog is so excited for the teddy bear, but the bear is not a dog toy. When the bear tries to convince the dog that he is a fancy kids' toy, the dog plays with him anyway. Although he has fun, the bear is determined to make the girl like him, rather than the dog. But maybe he needs to appreciate the one who wants to play with him.
The situations were funny and the idea is clever, but Ugh - I really don't love it when authors tell the whole story in character dialogue - especially when objects talk to people (and this one answers back!) The illustrations are great - very like a comic book, especially when the dog and the bear are playing together, and I especially loved the pages that were illustration only.
