William Walter  packed his suitcase ready to go to Aunty  Oma's  house.  They went to bed but bear  had a sore and prickly throat . He went to Aunty Oma and she put William Walter and his bear in her bed where they both went to sleep.

 I enjoyed this book

It is good to tell it to children. It would make them feel happy at bedtime. It was funny because the boy said the bear was unhappy when it was really William himself. Little children often think that teddy bears are another person. The characters are not realistic but I was keen to  see what happened.

The pictures help me to see what happened. The colours are happy but not bright because they are bed time colours. I would like to buy this book
