A cute follow-up to the previous two books deals with loneliness and friendship. It's so fun to read out loud, even if there's no one else in the room.

While putting this book into my LibraryThing collection I was surprised to discover that a short-lived animated series based on the books had aired on British television starting in 2001 and had even generated a spin-off series of books drawn in the cartoon style. I'm almost tempted to seek them out, but I bet they're nowhere as good as Alborough's original books. It may be best to leave well enough alone. ( )

My friend bear book is a story about friendship and how to overcome feeling sad.

This story is about Eddie the sad boy, and a sad bear. They both have teddies and they both wish they had friends to talk to. ( )

This was not my favorite book at all. I don't think I would use it. ( )
