CHARLIE: The Brave Little Teddy Bear

This is the heart-warming story of Charlie Riley, a loveable teddy bear who lives in the woods with his fanciful, adoptive parents, who happen to be trees. When Charlie notices that his mother's leaves are pale, he embarks on a journey to get tree vitamins. Amy Baird's delectable illustrations of Charlie and the group of gentle, but sometimes mischievous animals he meets along the way, lend excitement and vitality to a tale that shows children how easy and satisfying it is to think of others before themselves. Charlie Riley is a warm, uplifting story that celebrates courage, kindness, selflessness, and simply doing the right thing. It is an ode to goodness-- a story that will be read again and again.
