If you listen, you may hear Catilda singing sadly.
She misses her teddy bear, Ollie, whom she's lost on a trip to the city.
If you listen, you will hear her parents creeping up the stairs, talking about the child they have put snugly to bed.
They hear only silence.
If you watch, you will see everything those parents don't suspect -- everything that a child's love for a teddy bear can lead to.
John Stadler has told his loving story with the lightest of touches and painted it with the lightness of air.
