Ted Goes Wild

by Michael Wagner

'Life's no picnic for this teddy bear'

Fully equipped, superbly trained and afraid of nothing (well, almost), Ted has dedicated his life to saving and serving others.

But will his rescue mission to the Wild Forest knock the stuffing out of him once and for all? And will he ever return to his loving owner, Oliver?

Warm-hearted, thrilling and delightfully silly, this magical-adventure series will captivate young readers.

Reviews

[Ali · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book has a good mixed layout of text, drawings, comic pages and full illustrations. Good fur reading on your own but harder to share as class read out loud. Action packed adventure stories but Ted needed to be built up more, a more rounded character.

[Samantha-Ellen Bound · Rating 2 out of 5]

I found it strangely lacking in warmth and engagement for a children's first chapter book. I really wanted to care about Ted, because he's a cute little teddy that goes out having wild adventures and being brave and tough. But this teddy - not quite for me. Great design though.

This book is a funny little read. An action-adventure loving toy bear who saves the world due to having been saved himself. It is weirdly like Man vs Wild and thoroughly enjoyable. It's layout stands out as it swings between narrative and graphic novel.
