Baggy Brown and the Royal Baby by Mick Inkpen



This is exactly the same book as the 2008 published "Baggy Brown". However the big difference is that the title of this one has Royal Baby in it and this book was published at a time when Royal Baby fever was taking over the country. However this book has nothing to do with Will and Kate's little one.

The story is of Baggy Brown the teddy bear. He is the first edition of a limited-run of teddy bears and is destined to be presented to Princess Sophie on her first birthday. However the production line gets messed up and the bear ends up coming Alfie's way, and Alfie falls in love with his toy christening him Baggy Brown. Then television news reports talk about the missing bear with the golden crown in his ear with the number 1 on and 5-year-old Alfie gets sad before going on a journey to give the Princess his beloved bear. And then the children grow up as friends and live happily ever after.

Pictures are big and colourful, story can hold the attention for at least a bedtime, and children can relate to loving a toy, and hopefully to sharing too.

(I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is listed HERE.)
