Synopsis -
Theodore was an unfortunate bear.
Exquisite, knowledgeable, well-mannered and immaculately dressed (with his impressive red bow tie), he was what you would call a ‘gentle-bear’.
For a teddy bear of his distinguished pedigree, one would expect nothing but the best of what life has to offer. But luck should have it that he would end up in the worst possible place on earth- the Chow family!
The most terrible kind of family imaginable, his days were miserable.... to say the least. Every day he wished that the horrible family he's living with would disappear from his life.
One day, the family went out for what seemed like a normal outing... But they never came back...
Theodore's wish had come true....

Review -
I just love this book! In fact, I am now a fan of Cory Q Tan's writing. The story is about a very rude and pessimistic teddy bear named Theodore, who just hate the Chows. But when one day, the Chows go away and don't return, Theodore realises his mistake and goes on a search for his family.
The illustrations were awesome. The story is mixed with right amount of humour and adventure. The story teaches a great lesson that family and love are the most important things in the world, no matter whether you hate them or love them. I would recommend it for both children and adults because it teaches a great value to the children and it awakens the child inside every adult.
