Mycuddly Book

Paul Strickland, P. Stickland. Handprint Books, $14.95 (12pp) ISBN 978-1-929927-38-8

As the copy on the snap-lock carrying case says, Paul Stickland's My Ragged Bears Cuddly Book is a ""book... pillow... [and] teddy bear all-in-one."" A zipper running ear to ear on the golden velour bear head opens to reveal 12 cloth pages, each illustrated with an animal and its name. In the end, children can uncurl the bears' four rattling feet tucked inside. (Dec.)
