With a little help from three meddling fairies, a baby is placed in the care of three roly-poly teddy bears, in this endearing tale for readers 4 to 8. With only the best intentions and a lot of love, the bears set out to raise him, instructing him in the ways of teddy bears. Then one day, the boy finds out that he belongs to the human world. But will he still be able to sleep in cupboards, play in the woods, and go on picnics? Will he still be cuddly? Susan Varley's charming illustrations humorously depict the young boy's teddy bear antics, in this gentle fairy tale with a reassuring ending.
