Ted's trip in his pram to the park with Jack and Mary turns into quite an adventure for the toy bear. First he jumps in the lake, is rescued and unwittingly marooned by a friendly duck. Then he meets a Chinese princess and her dragon who, in reality, turns out to be less frightening than either a hedgehog or a butterfly prove to be in Ted's imagination. The real charm of this rather slow-moving tale lies in the muted water-colour illustrations of Ted and his adventures. The dreamy island scenes hold a particular fascination.
