Summary: Eddie loses his teddy bear Freddie somewhere in the woods. As he searches to find Freddie, he comes across a huge teddy bear, that just could not be his teddy bear. He hears a loud crying, to realize it is a big live bear holding a tiny teddy bear, wondering why his teddy bear got so small. He sees Eddie holding the huge teddy bear, and realize that they have each others' bears! They each swap teddy bears, and go to the homes to cuddle with their rediscovered teddy bears. This could be used in the classroom as the rhythmic words can be easily understood and paid attention to by young readers. Children will learn to love this book, and the fast paced action really keeps children's interest.
