Throwaway Bear — Sandy Nightingale

Spoiled Sophie doesn't want her Birthday Bear, so the little teddy finds himself stuffed into a garbage can. But his adventures have only just begun. Half-buried by a dog, ridiculed by rabbits, and picked at by a raven, the bear is very much the worse for wear when he's finally fished out of a pond by a little boy named Paul. A beautifully illustrated tale about a Throwaway Bear who, at last, finds someone to love and care for him. Sandy Nightingale is an author and illustrator whose books include A Giraffe on the Moon, One Pink Pig, I'm a Little Monster, and The Witch's Spell.
