The Tale of the Third Bear

This is the long-awaited first book by Dale Hubert, the creator of the world-famous Flat Stanley Project, and it promises to engage young readers as they identify with the small bear who begins as a reluctant writer and ends up producing a creative journal and co-authoring a famous tale. Complete with photo-realistic illustrations by the author, this whimsical yet thoughtful story will appeal to young and old as it explores the importance of imagination, friendship and creativity. The book is supported by the My Travel Teddy website, www.mytravelteddy.com, where budding young authors, and reluctant writers, will have the opportunity to post their own stories, share their pictures in a safe and moderated online environment, and engage in email and letter exchanges with other readers around the world. Teachers will find practical curriculum suggestions on the My Travel Teddy site and their students will no doubt relate to the main character, a small bear, who is trying to develop some independence as he learns about the world around him.
