Three teddy bears find a baby boy in the forest, apparently all alone, and kind-heartedly take him home. But they don't know how to bring up a boy, so he grows up learning how to be a teddy bear instead. 'He walked like a Teddy. He growled like a Teddy. He could swivel his legs all the way round...almost.' Then on his fourth birthday his mother comes to the cottage looking for him and he learns that boys and bears have something in common. They love being cuddled - and his mother knows just how to do it!
