Is your teddy bear awfully quiet? Does he just sit on your bed and stare at the wall? Maybe he is bored. When you’re bored, you can read a book, but Teddy can’t. Or can he? . . . Maybe you should read this story out loud to your teddy bear. He may blush, though, because you’ll find out about all the things he does when you leave for school. Just make sure to hug your furry friend when you’re done reading—even teddy bears make mistakes!
Sara Swan Miller and True Kelly, author and illustrator of Three Stories You Can Read to Your Cat and Three Stories You Can Read to Your Dog, have done it again with three comical new stories—this time about teddy bears. Who knew that teddy bears are just as adventurous as cats and dogs?

Excerpts
Reviews
"These lighthearted, easy-to-read tales are told from a stuffed animal's ingenuous point of view. . . . This fun-filled escapade will not disappoint fans of the other "Three Stories" books and may just win some new ones." School Library Journal
"Miller's gently idiomatic prose is ideal for children just easing into early chapter books, and though Kelley's teddy bear is not as expressive as her "real-life" animals, her wiggly-lined watercolors do capture Teddy's unsteadiness on his feet." Booklist, ALA
