Description
Bruno had never been to sea, but he had read about it in every picture book on the nursery shelf. So one summer afternoon, while the children napped, he borrowed a row boat from the pond at the bottom of the garden, packed a lifebuoy just in case, and set off to find the edge of the world. He got as far as the lily pads before teatime.
This box captures his grand adventure. The teddy bear sits proudly in his row boat, painted oars ready and a lifebuoy close at hand, looking every inch the fearless explorer. It is a delightful christening or birthday present, a sweet keepsake for a child’s first tooth or a lock of hair, and a charming find for anyone who collects teddy bears. On a nursery shelf, a bookshelf of storybooks or a bathroom windowsill near the bathtub fleet, it brings a sense of fun and imagination. Grown-ups who keep a favourite bear from childhood tend to love it just as much. Bath time may never be quite the same again.
