Three Stories You Can Read to Your Teddy Bear

Three Stories You Can Read to Your Teddy Bear by Sara Swan Miller, illus. by True Kelley, follows earlier books to be read to dogs and cats (perhaps targeted to children who aren't allowed pets). The second-person narrative proffers three stories about Teddy when his friend leaves each day (ostensibly for school). With a newly discovered ability to walk, Teddy sets out to explore the house; his exuberance is tempered by a healthy number of ""bonks"" to the nose as he tends to fall flat on his face every few steps.
