Review

Stuffed animals can get in trouble when their owner is in school. In this book, a teddy bear called all of his friends and invited them over to his house for a party. It was a very wild and raucous party leading to much destruction and mess in the house. It got so loud that the neighbors called the police. In the end, teddy softens the heart of one of the police women who responded. The story, while very improbable, is FUN! The situations the animals get into and the fun they have will make children laugh. The bright colored, action filled illustrations will draw their attention. There is a lot to see! The surprise ending will warm their hearts. This will be a fun read aloud!

Overall Book Score: excellent
