When will this arrive by?

Albie arrived wearing NOTHING but fur, he could have been either a Him or Her...Most teddy bears let their owner decide, but Albie would not, for a bear has its pride.

But each outfit that Albie purchases from fairy to pirate, from cowboy to elegant city gent proves unsuitable in some way, and by the end of the week his bedroom is heaped with discarded clothes. How will he dress in order to feel like himself?

A hilarious story in verse that's great to read aloud, about dressing up and one bear's search for his own identity.

Industry Reviews
'It's a treat to read aloud, and illustrator Brian Fitzgerald has great fun depicting Albie's different outfits and changing moods. Tucked in amongst the fun, there are gentle messages about identity and choice too. This is bound to be a huge favourite with children.' Books for Keeps;'With a clever surprise ending this is a wonderful, vibrant, and silly story with an important message about having the confidence to be ourselves, always.'Armadillo;'This laugh-out-loud rhyming story blends funny, powerful and highly-engaging themes of empowerment, roles and sharing with hilariously bold illustrations. At school it's a great choice to share with EYFS classes. At home, it may well be your next smash-hit bedtime read!' School Reading List;'Jeanne Willis's text is huge fun to read aloud and Brian Fitzgerald's entertaining scenes of Albie's ever changing gear and his various fashion fiascos in his search for his true self are sure to appeal to young listeners. I suspect this will become a story time favourite.' Red Reading Hub
