Synopsis

What do your toys do when your back is turned? Mischief might ensue when a ringleader teddy bear throws a very memorable party.Have you ever wondered what teddies do while their humans are at school? What if a teddy bear invited all his stuffed animal friends over? Imagine the wild party that might ensue, complete with jumping on the bed, colouring on the walls, dressing up in Mum's clothes, having a bubble-bath sliding contest in the hall, and sledging down a cushion mountain... As adorable as it is raucous, Jancee Dunn's hilarious tale of freedom and fun comes to vibrant life in Scott Nash's colourful illustrations.

About this title

Review

Nash's digital illustrations capture the zany day in an engaging color palette...Although there are only six humans in the story, Nash uses them to highlight the diversity of Teddy's neighborhood.
--Kirkus Reviews

The mischievous antics of a teddy bear and his stuffed friends draw the attention of the police in this raucous story, the first children's book from adult author Dunn...With Dunn and Nash as guides, readers will revel in the vicarious, rule-breaking fun.
--Publishers Weekly

A humorous tale of stuffed animal mayhem that will entertain early elementary students and provide a fun read-aloud for younger children.
--School Library Journal

The deadpan tone of the text makes the pictures all the funnier, and Nash keeps the toys looking like toys even as they play...many kids will love contemplating what their own stuffed animals might get up to if they decided to have a party.
--The Horn Book
