By Battersea Author, Georgia Edmonds Contact Details: E: [email protected] www.teddys-tails.com Instagram: @teddys_tails_books Fall in Love with Teddy! Teddys Tails is a series of children’s picture books written in verse about the adorable and mischievous puppy, Teddy. The first two books, Teddy & The Tygers and Teddy Versus the Underwear have been published on Amazon with 5 star reviews... “A comforting cuddle in the form of a book. A Great storybook!” Absolutely Mama say... “Beautifully illustrated books to enjoy.” What’s Good To Do say... “The children I shared the books with loved the rhythm of the story.” It’s rare to find a child that doesn’t love stories about animals. They are very gentle, simple and positive stories that show the love a boy can have for his puppy, and vice versa whilst helping to inspire an understanding of new vocabulary. The books make perfect present for children aged 2-6 years.
