Seven Year old Chris and his mom are moving and he must leave everything behind, including his prized possession, BEAR. Miss Lilly, his teacher, treasures teddy bears like no other so Chris decides to leave Bear with her but with the promise that she will only keep him until Chris can come back and get him. Years pass and she keeps Bear on her classroom shelf wondering if he will ever come back as she will retire next year. Chris finally comes back to claim Bear as an adult man. He tells his old teacher how he moved several times after he left there and then joined the service and is about to be married. Bear is reclaimed and there is closure to this charming, heartwarming story. This book was given to me as a gift from my sister-in-law. Mrs. Labrum was my niece's teacher. I cried like a baby after reading it and recommend this to ALL teachers... if you are a parent and are looking for a great, inexpensive gift to give... give this book along with a small teddy bear!
