Bernard Waber writes and illustrates with a clear understanding of how young children think and act. When Ira is invited to sleep over at his next-door neighbor’s house, he is thrilled. He becomes increasingly nervous that his friend Reggie will discover his beloved teddy bear, Tah Tah. The ending is believable and true-to-life. This is a delightful read-aloud, especially for preschool and kindergarten age children.
