The Teddy Bear’s Promise is a new book from legendary Kiwi author Diana Noonan. It is so, so delicious and a must for anyone who has ever loved a toy.
I’m liking
At the beginning of this book, Max’s dad comes home with a present – a bear that used to his. He tells Max a story about how the bear is a special friend who will always be with him. I loved the simple, gentle style of the story. It’s simple enough that my 2 year old can follow along but it also engages my 5 year old who totally gets the idea of a ‘special friend’.
The conclusion
Such a lovely book. It would also be a great book to help a child who needs to learn to leave a special toy at home sometimes.
