PreS-Gr 1-Lily won't go anywhere without her beloved Teddy. Even on a windy day in the park, she takes him along for the ride. When she falls asleep in her stroller on the way home and loses her grip on him, the little bear slips to the ground and is left behind. Although frightened, he knows that he must "-get home to Lily before dark." During his arduous journey, he is splashed, bashed, bumped, and even sniffed by a dog. However, the plucky bear continues, making his way up steep hills and against the wind to get home to Lily. When he finally makes it to the front door, no one hears his knocks and it appears that all is lost. Luckily, the paperboy arrives, delivering him through the mail slot, just in time for bed. This is a sweet, simple story with a happy ending; however, the delivery is a bit awkward and not particularly original. The illustrations are large and the colors bright, and the two-page spreads in the park and on the street are effectively dramatic. With so many titles with a similar theme, such as Martin Waddell's Small Bear Lost (Candlewick, 1998), Michaela Morgan's Edward Loses His Teddy Bear (Dutton, 1988; o.p.), and Jane Hissey's Little Bear Lost (Sandvik, 1994), this one is strictly additional.-Piper L.
