The Lost Ears — Phillida Gili

�"ONCE UPON A TIME�...there lived a teddy bear named Harry, who was only two and a half inches tall.” All the best stories begin with magical words� -- and what happens to this absolutely adorable little bear has enchanted young readers for a quarter of a century.
After living a happy if uneventful life in his owner's pajama pocket, tiny Harry has a big adventure: he's accidentally put in the washing machine and drenched, spun, and hung out to dry. Even worse, he has lost his ears! Now poor Harry's kept in a dark drawer with all the other broken toys. Only the kindness of a little girl might set him free again�...
The beautiful, softly-colored illustrations capture the world from a bear's point of view� -- and create an expressive character who will win kids' hearts and sympathy.
