A hilarious story in verse that's great to read aloud, about dressing up and one bear's search for his own identity.

Age range 3+

Albie arrived wearing NOTHING but fur, he could have been either a Him or Her...Most teddy bears let their owner decide, but Albie would not, for a bear has its pride.

But each outfit that Albie purchases - from fairy to pirate, from cowboy to elegant city gent - proves unsuitable in some way, and by the end of the week his bedroom is heaped with discarded clothes. How will he dress in order to feel like himself?

A hilarious story in verse that's great to read aloud, about dressing up and one bear's search for his own identity.

'This laugh-out-loud rhyming story blends funny, powerful and highly-engaging themes of empowerment, roles and sharing with hilariously bold illustrations.' - School Reading List

'A joyously unique read about finding your own identity.' - Book and Gift blogger
