Where Teddy Bears Come From

32 pp. | Peachtree | October, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-56145-487-7 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Russell Ayto. A sleepless wolf, cast against type as a sweetie, sets out through the forest to learn where teddy bears come from. His confrontations with fairy-tale icons the Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood act as warm-ups for the story's big joke: the wolf doesn't recognize Santa Claus, who ultimately solves the problem. Pointy-lined mixed-media illustrations are effectively varied in composition.
