Poor Threadbear, Ben's teddy, has lots of things wrong with him, but the worst is that his squeaker will not squeak! Ben's friends and family try to solve the problem, but it's the other toys who tell Threadbear to try Father Christmas. After a trip on FC's sleigh he lands back in Ben's garden and has to be put in the washing machine because he's so dirty. As a result his stuffing shrinks and lo and behold his squeaker works! This delightful storybook (which won the Federation of Children's Books Award in 1991) is suitable for all ages, but particularly for 4-7 year-olds.
