Round and round the garden
like a teddy bear,
One step, a’ two step
and a tickle-y under there!
This is a little pen and ink sketch of a tiny hand-made teddy bear that I was given before I went overseas on my first backpacking adventure. He was made from brown mini-corduroy, with a lemon, loop-edged ribbon and was filled with small beans/beads. Perfect for travel; he could fit in the smallest of spaces and didn’t speak a word.

Hey Laura
I can see a children’s book potential here.
Very nicely drawn. Now, what’s the story
going to be about?
