Teddy is a very happy bear, but he sometimes gets into a lot of trouble, especially when he goes a-walking and doesn't notice where he is going. Fortunately for Teddy, he meets a nice dog named Alex who helps him on his way and their friendship blossoms.
Unique to this interactive book for kids the last rhyming word each stanza is in different color. This is to prompt you to hold back this word so the little ones can fill it in, either with a word of their own or a word they remember from a previous reading. This helps them develop their language and thinking skills while mastering the meaning of the sentence.
Kids also practice focusing and get to participate in the story telling which makes it a great story time book because kids love that this is both a rhyming book and a picture book.

Description
Author Description
Dafne Nicou Engstrom grew up in Europe during the early 1940's when there was no television and certainly no Internet. What she did have was a large and loving family and they all cherished entertaining each other. Creativity was always encouraged and applauded! During holidays presents were made and packages adorned, but most important was a card with a rhyme that came with each package to be read by the giver. Competition for the best poem was fierce. There were also charming story books with rhymes where the last word of each rhyming stanza was held back and the kids in her family fought over who was first to fill in the missing word. It is in this spirit that Dafne has created Teddy Went A-walking, encouraging the little ones to come up with the last rhyming word of each stanza: for fun and to develop their language and thinking skills. Dafne is also the author of The Adventures of Pee and Poo, The Fun Potty Training Book. All of her books are created to be fun while offering inspirational life lessons.
