Summary: A teddy bear comes into a little boy's life in 1950 when his mother is about to have a new baby. The teddy tells the story of his life, being dragged around, inside and out, on bikes, in wheelbarrows, on all sorts of adventures, and always being well loved. He even learns to read with the boy. As Teddy tells his story, he's also telling the boy's story. And the boy, of course, grows up, and Teddy gets left behind sometimes, once even on the beach overnight. Eventually the boy grows up and Teddy is put away in a trunk where he stays, for 17 years, when he is rediscovered by the boy's three daughters
