A beautiful hardback storybook, suitable for children aged five to ten, which follows the adventures of Ted Ted in Japan where the much-loved (but smelly) English teddy bear gets into all sorts of scrapes including encounters with a Sumo wrestler on the subway, a couple of Japanese teenagers, and a Japanese cat fish. Now, Ted Ted has to rescue his adored owner, Tilly, when she runs away in Japan's capital city. Very clever. Like a travelogue. I think it's beautiful. It's telling a story but it's also educating.- Lesley Dolphin, BBC Radio Suffolk.
