Review:
I thought this was really cute book. I loved the way the author portrayed the bear. His feeling were so real. For example how he was excited about his birthday and how he sung to the moon because he was happy. It lent the book a touch of grandeur. The author did a really good job incorporating real life situations from the perspective of the Toy bear. I loved the way the author incorporated the bear's feelings of abandonment ( he felt sleepy and less alive). Overall a great book to share with children. ( )
