Poor Teddy is abused and ignored until he is left in the park and then adopted by a new, more caring child. The honey-brown bear is the focal point of each full-page illustration, and his bedraggled charm is endearing.... A lovely choice for bedtime sharing with a child and a beloved bear."" School Library Journal""Weninger sketches Ragged Bear's personality, but in the handsome oversize format, Marks's soft, fluid watercolors give this bear his lovable form. This bear is a very appealing fellow.... Deceptively simple, deeply satisfying."" Kirkus

  • Leave It to the Molesons

    Burny Bos, B Bos, Hans de Beer

    Paperback (NorthSouth, Aug. 1, 1998)
    ""This amusing chapter book is the third in a series that features a mole family.... Dugless narrates, beginning by saying that they're an ordinary family that sometimes does 'funny stuff' and encouraging readers to write their own stories. In short, breezy chapters, he relates an innovative way to wash dishes, wallpaper the living room, build a tree house, visit an art museum, play in the rain, and earn money for ice cream.... The illustrations are imaginatively drawn in colored pencil and watercolors and carry the action well. The Molesons are a charming bunch who will engage young readers.""School Library Journal
