Everyone loves toys, although nowadays they are becoming more and more sophisticated and electronic. But for really young children, the old favourites are still the best. Teddy bears and all forms of cuddly toys are what toddlers seek. So, what would they give to be able to play with them should they come to life.
Benjamin Roy is a typical fun-loving five-year-old who can’t believe his eyes when a glove puppet in the form of a grey and white rabbit tips him a wink and comes to life. Benny’s Arrival is where it all began, again written in verse and doubling up as a colouring book.

The circumstances of retrieving the teddy bear may be different to the magical way it was found in the story, but a happy ending is always very welcome.
