Description: Prince Peter's haughty parents have all sorts of ideas about what their son would like for his birthday, but Prince Peter insists he wants only a teddy bear. So they give him one -- a teddy bear made of solid gold. Peter is dejected, until the golden bear shows him how something as simple as a cuddle can soften even the hardest of objects. Then Peter understands the gift he needs to give his hard-hearted parents in return. With a simple text and bold gouache illustrations, this charming picture book imparts a message about the strength of affection and the importance of expressing emotion.
