One day, a boy accidentally leaves his much-loved teddy bear on a chair in the park. Night falls and the bear’s adventure starts when an owl carries him off in its claws. With the help of a passing trombonist, the bear lives to tell the tale, and is happily reunited with his boy the following day. As the book is written in rhyming couplets, it’s easy for young children to join in with the storytelling.
At the top of the left hand page is a tiny picture of a foot stool. A brown hat with a red ribbon is lying on top of it and a big, shiny brass trombone, which is a musical instrument, is resting against it. I wonder who these belong to. There's another picture showing those three green, park chairs, the same ones that were on the front cover. The bear is sitting on the middle one. He's smiling and pointing towards the large grey-brown shaggy dog, who's sitting on the right. The dog is smiling too and looking at the bear alertly with its ears sticking right up, as if they've just been playing an exciting game. They look as if they are having a wonderful time. The boy is sitting on the other chair. He has reddish brown hair and is wearing a blue jumper and trousers, yellow socks and brown shoes.
