The Tail of Teddy Topper is a ballad that chronicles the humble beginnings of a hero — one who just so happens to be very soft and cuddly. Ridiculed for his physical differences, a young teddy bear wanders through the wilderness as an outcast and a laughingstock. Though he turns the other cheek time and time again, one night the local bullies finally take things a bit too far. What follows is a journey in search of justice, leading Teddy Topper along a path of self-discovery that teaches him the value of perseverance, restraint, and forgiveness.
A perfect bedtime story for children of all ages. This heart-wrenching story of loss and courage also appeals to adults who find peace when lulled into the timeless rhythm of rhyme and meter. As such, the tale is best enjoyed aloud and in the company of loved ones. So snuggle up and enjoy!
