Teddy Went A -walking: A Rhyming Book for Children about the Friendship of a Lovable Bear and a Happy-Go-Lucky Dog (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692591475)

Dafne Nicou Engstrom grew up in Europe during the early 1940's when there was no television and certainly no Internet. What she did have was a large and loving family and they all cherished entertaining each other. Creativity was always encouraged and applauded! During holidays presents were made and packages adorned, but most important was a card with a rhyme that came with each package to be read by the giver. Competition for the best poem was fierce. There were also charming story books with rhymes where the last word of each rhyming stanza was held back and the kids in her family fought over who was first to fill in the missing word. It is in this spirit that Dafne has created Teddy Went A-walking, encouraging the little ones to come up with the last rhyming word of each stanza: for fun and to develop their language and thinking skills. Dafne is also the author of The Adventures of Pee and Poo, The Fun Potty Training Book. All of her books are created to be fun while offering inspirational life lessons.
