Such a beautiful story and this retelling is quite magnificent! I love Sarah Massini’s illustrations – they mix the traditional elements in a way that will appeal to little ones. #readwithme
Sarah has done a great job with the illustrations, they have a vintage look which is perfect for the time that the story was written ๐
I love this story, a real classic! Thanks for sharing with #ReadWithMe
It’s a lovely story and this new edition is beautiful ๐
Beautiful looking book. It isn’t a story I have ever read but I can see its appeal.
XThe story is wonderful and just as magical for adults as for children ๐
Oh my boy believes his Panda is real!
This looks gorgeous and a real old classic and I can’t quite believe I haven’t read it before. I know that both my children would enjoy this and I’m always on the look out to add books to our birthday & Christmas lists. I think this will make it on!
Lovely thorough review

xxThis would be a perfect Christmas gift, Sarah has used perfect Christmas colours for the cover ๐
It is such a wonderful story – a must have book for any child’s book collection! Sim x #TriedTested
I totally agree although I first read this story as an adult, it was on our reading list when I did my teacher training.
I’ve never read this book, but I love the classic look to it and sounds like my girls would enjoy it. #Tried&Tested
It’s lovely, the text is quite long for a picture book (I’d be interested to know how many words!) so it’s a great story to share with older readers too.
I have never read this book – it always reminds me of Friends! #TriedTested
I would definitely recommend a read and this version is so beautifully illustrated ๐
This is one of those books that I have heard so much about and yet have never read. It sounds like a story that my girls would both love (and I probably would too!) – adding it to the Christmas list now! ๐ #TriedTested
I didn’t read it as a child, I wish I had as it so encompasses the relationship that a child has with a special toy ๐
This oozes traditional story charm just from the cover! #TriedTested
Gorgeous isn’t it and the actual book cover is absolutely stunning!
What fab looking Book our girls love their stories great review #triedandtested
