The Everywhere Bear Hardback Julia Donaldson

A much-loved class bear goes home with different children, joining their games and becoming part of their families' routines. When he is accidentally lost, his journey takes him into places no one expected. Julia Donaldson's warm rhyming adventure celebrates the affection children invest in a familiar toy, combining excitement with the hope of finding a way back to the people who care.
