Looking for stuffed animal so she can be tucked into bed for the night. Many youngsters will identify with this story as they lift parts of the pages to 'find' Ted.

Cute story of a little girl who needs her Teddy to go to bed but cannot find him. Lift the flaps will help engage the readers on this infinitely relatable topic. Not my favorite Nicola Smee book, but fun nonetheless.

A little girl can't go to bed without "Ted," so goes on a search for him with the help of several cats, a dog, and mice. She seems to get more and more distressed, and tears up at one point, before mom remembers that Ted is outside on the clothesline. A lift-the-flap book.

Ted, as in Teddy Bear, is missing at bedtime. Toddlers will love lifting the flaps to see if Teddy is underneath.
