A Friend for Little Bear by Harry Horse 1996
A lonely teddy bear is thrilled when a wooden horse floats by the desert island where he lives. They become great friends. Paraphernalia floating in the sea interrupts the lovely time they spend together. Bear begins to grab items out of the water saying, “I don’t know what these things are but I need them, all the same.”
As the pile of junk gets higher, wooden horse looks more and more sad, until he is crowded off the island and back into the sea. When Bear realizes his friend is missing he begins to cry and throw all the worthless things back into the ocean. When wooden horse floats by once more, they are reunited, and realize that silly treasures could never replace the happiness that a friend brings.
The moral to this story was a great reminder for my child, but also for me as well.
Appropriate for ages 4-8
