Where's Tim's Ted?

Illustrated by Russell Ayto

All's quiet on Granny and Grandad's farm as night falls. But Tim's Ted is missing and Tim can't sleep without him . . . So, in the middle of the night, Tim hops out of bed, pulls his boots on and slips out into the farmyard to look for him. The hens in the henhouse haven't seen Ted and neither have the cows. Before long, Pacer the horse, the ducks, the goats and the sheep have all joined the torchlit hunt for Ted, but it is only when the motley search party reaches the pig sty that Tim finds out where his beloved toy has been hiding.

This wonderful story of a torchlit midnight adventure, within the conforting surroundings of Tim's grandparents' farm, will thrill children and is perfect for reading aloud with its rhyming, rhythmic text. 'Where's Tim's Ted?' is the perfect bedtime reader for the very young, but with its rhyming text it's also a natural for slightly older children.
