Burgess, Mark. Where Teddy Bears Come From, illustrated by Russell Ayto. $16.95. Peach Tree, 2008. A little gray wolf is having problems sleeping and needs a teddy bear. His mom packs him a lunch and he goes out to find where teddy bears come from. He asks three not-so-little pigs and a girl named Red Riding Hood where teddy bears come from, but they mistake him for another wolf that is big and bad. Next he asks an old man in the forest whose truck has a flat tire. The little gray wolf huffs and puffs and blows up the tire. The next morning he receives a teddy bear as a present. This story is a fun addition to the fractured fairytale genre with a holiday twist. The illustrations are angular and appealing. EL- ADVISABLE. Samantha, Public Librarian.
