The determined and resourceful little peg-doll, Tilly, has another challenge to face in this attractive picture book. Edward, her teddy bear friend, has gone missing just before Christmas and Tilly sets out on a dangerous and determined journey to find him. The story and pictures combine to give a genuinely exciting and convincing view of the world as seen by someone only three inches high. Tilly's journey across the main road is as nerve-wracking for us as for her. All ends satisfyingly with the message that courage, resourcefulness and friendship can overcome many obstacles.
