Tedbury

A beautifully illustrated picture book, written in rhyme, about a day which was planned forever that turns out very badly for Tedbury, a small, soft, golden-yellow teddy bear. Alas, he has been forgotten at the park.
Seasons come and go, from summer to the snows of winter to the rain in spring – Tedbury is out in all weather. Creature visitors come and go. They try to help; they ask him, “Who are you? Where did you come from?”
Sadness ekes from his black, shoe-button eyes. Won’t somebody stop and help him?
Tedbury is forlorn until a badger wriggles him onto his back and takes him on an adventure through a lovely little town.
This charming book is set in Tenbury Wells, Worchestershire, England, where Jean lived with her daughter, Maureen, for a couple of years.
