My Teddy Bear is My Best Friend Because...

I loved reading this bok to my son. He and I are always together, most days. He does not behave as if this is very important to him and often runs to strangers and other family members to talk. I've always thought that this was good for him socially; however I feel concern for his safety with strangers and I want him to also demonstrate a closer affinity to me for all that we do and are as a mother-son dyad. This book really hit the nail on the head and reminds me of The Wizard of Oz's moral. As Dorothy put it, "Whenever I go searching for my heart's desire, I won't look past my own backyard".
Don't believe what Kirkus Reviews says

I have read a lot about this book, and it has gotten some very positive recognition, including a National Parenting Publications Awards gold medal. The North Carolina Psychiatric Association called it a "splendid book . . . recommended for the waiting room, the play-room, the bedroom . . . a book for all ages and all seasons." Just because a book doesn't give one a candy-coated view of existence is no reason to pan it!
