Okay, I'm biased...Babbis F-B was my father's cousin's wife, and she died very early in life. Had she lived longer, I'm sure she would have added numerous deep and interesting books for older children. Don't Take Teddy has been translated into languages the world over.

I read this in the 70's and kept the book. I just reread it and enjoyed it. Some people might not like the description of Teddy as being "mentally defective" I realize that in the 70's this is the term that was used.

I read this several times as a kid. I haven’t read it lately so I don’t know if it stands the test of time, but it made an impact on me in the early 70’s.

2* Nothing wrong with the book but it was boring and I didn't enjoy. Theme is how little understood mental disabilities were in historical times.
