this a very cute book about a teddy bear that no one wants to buy. the teddy bear decides to run away, but when he tries, he finds a boy who wants to buy him.

this a beginner reader book. the text is simple with big picture and only a few words on each page.

This is a simple level 1 reader that a beginning reader would have fun learning to read could boost their self esteem with. Illustrations are great along with the simple text.

Children at a toy store are all wanting various toys except the teddy bear on the counter. UNTIL the teddy bear jumps down and drives the car, sails the boat, does various tricks everyone is impressed.
