The Best-Loved Bear
Elizabeth Fuller
A delightful story about a competition for the best-loved teddy bear and a little boy who longs for his bear to win. But how could his sticky, threadbare, battered old friend win any competition? Tim decides to mend Toby, wash him and bandage him up ... and, guess what? Well, of course Toby wins because, as the judge says, 'this bear has been loved to bits!'
