Delightful picture book for sharing with ages 3 to 6.

"Good as new" is what grandpa promises after Grady's teddy bear is smeared with peanut butter, sprayed with a hose, and buried in the sand by his young cousin. When grandpa begins cutting the stitches and pulling out the stuffing, Grady isn't so sure that grandpa knows what he's doing. However, Grandpa ends up a hero and the bear turns out better than new. This delightful story has a familiar childhood problem with a satisfying ending. Large, attractive illustrations are perfect for sharing with one child or a group.
