The Runaway Teddy Bear
Author: Ginnie Hofmann
The Runaway Teddy Bear is a story about a teddy bear named Arthur who feels left out and decides to runaway and live with real bears in the woods. After wandering through the scary woods, Arthur finally meets up with the bears and they say he can stay with them for a day to see how it is. Arthur participates in different tasks with the bears, but finds out that it is not as fun as he thought it would be and misses his owner, Andy.
This story can relate to young children who feel like their friends should only play with them and not their other friends. I thought the story line was really good. It was also interesting how the author kept the teddy bear distinct from the real bears. The real bears would indicate that the teddy bear was oddly shaped or smelled strange. The illustrations were colorful and detailed too.
