The Bear who had Nothing to Wear
Age range 3+
Albie arrived wearing NOTHING but fur, he could have been either a Him or Her...Most teddy bears let their owner decide, but Albie would not, for a bear has its pride.
But each outfit that Albie purchases — from fairy to pirate, from cowboy to elegant city gent — proves unsuitable in some way, and by the end of the week his bedroom is heaped with discarded clothes. How will he dress in order to feel like himself?
A hilarious story in verse that's great to read aloud, about dressing up and one bear's search for his own identity.
