Teddy Bear Coalman
Teddy Bear Baker
Two stories with their roots in the 1940s (even though one was published only some six years ago) which feature a teddy of independent nature. In the first we share a day in the life of Teddybear Coalman as he does his round on his horse and cart; and in the second he turns his hand to baking, and again we share in his daily routine as he first bakes, then goes on his round and finally serves in his bakery.
In each book the text is uncomplicated both in composition and presentation and the pictures have a dated appearance: a bit of nostalgia publishing for parents to share with their children up to about age three.
