A visit to great uncle Jerome means a journey on the train. Louise tries her hardest not to go, but she is very glad to get there in the end.

The five Teddy Bears amuse themselves on a rainy day playing that they go into space and, mostly, eating.

Imagine have four beloved teddy bears, each of whom is afraid of something at bedtime. That is the challenge for the little boy in Jim Aylesworth's charming bedtime story, Teddy Bear Tears. Just as the boy is ready to settle in for the night, each bear -- Willie Bear, then Fuzzy, Ringo, and Little Sam -- begins to sniffle and each's particular fear has to be explained away. Whether it is noises outside or concern that there might be something scary under the bed, our hero offers explanations for each and, in the process, just might make the nighttime worry-free for himself, too.

Teddy's Train is for four- and five-year-olds beginning English. It provides two levels of activity books with perforated tear-out pages. The books have a very low vocabulary load and lots of songs. Teddy's Train uses the metaphor of Teddy and his train to take children to different places. A specially designed long train poster is used to load the new vocabulary flashcards into the wagons. The tear-off sheets mean that teachers can use the materials flexibly to fit in with the general curriculum. Notes and a step-by-step illustrated guide to the action songs are printed on the back of the activity sheets for the teacher. Flashcards teach basic vocabulary.
