This lovely children’s book follows a child on a journey to find a special toy friend. The book is written for children ages 3 and up. This story contains repetitive sentences, that children love to join in on! The illustrations are hand drawn by the author. 

Oh dear! Mona has lost her Teddy and doesn’t know where he has gone. Let’s follow Mona, as she looks around her home searching all of the places she thinks that her special little Teddy might be. While searching for Teddy, Mona experiences anticipation, applies mathematical concepts, and has a surprise at the end! Shhhh, we can’t tell!

When she was a child, the author developed a deep interest in stories that fire the imagination. She believes that stories have a special way of entering our minds and settling in to make a safe place for a child to escape to.
