Ted's had enough of being a huggable teddy bear. He'd far rather be dangerous and exciting! The other toys laugh at him for being so silly. But when a chance accident turns ted into a 'monster', the others are terrified.

So will scary Ted be happy now, or simply scared without his friends?

Ted climbed out of the toy box and squeezed under the bed. He saw two big eyes looking at him and two rows of very large, sharp teeth.

Crocodile, can you show me how to grin like you?" asked Ted.

"Of course," said Crocodile. "Think of something huge and delicious that you'd like to eat."

Ted thought of a jam sandwich. He opened his mouth wide and bared his little teeth. Crocodile chuckled. "What a lovely smile. You look so cute."

Review

"this gentle allegorical story about the value of friendship ... would have its place in a collection for 3-5 year olds" Dianne Southcombe, The Librarian
