Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Teddy's Winter Adventure
Ken Forsse · 1985
55/100
👎 Skip It
Ken Forsse's 1985 Teddy Ruxpin picture book wraps a warm gift-giving message in a story designed to play alongside the cassette toy — and without that toy it's a thin 26-page holiday read that can't stand fully on its own. Nostalgic collectors and families who grew up with Teddy Ruxpin get real sentimental value here; anyone coming to it fresh gets a charming but context-dependent picture book.
