This book was absolutely lovely, it was a delightful tale of Ted the dragon who is lonely as everyone he wants to play with seems too scared of him. He decides to find his own way to fit in with the animals and disguises himself in order to be included.
It is a heart warming tale of inclusivity and the fact that we should not judge others by appearance but accept people for who they are on the inside. It is great for parents and teachers alike as it will create much discussion from the text and encourage children to think about the message behind it.
The illustrations are beautiful and the writing pitched at just the right level to keep younger pre schoolers engaged and provoke discussion with those a little older.
I received a copy of this book for free from Love books tours, this has in no way influenced my review and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Ted is an artistic dragon that loves to create things — from cakes, to painting pictures, and designing costumes. But Ted is lonely because he doesn’t have any friends to share things with. Ted tries his best to make friends, but all the other forest animals are afraid of him. That’s because Ted is different.
Maybe if Ted were like the other forest animals, he would have lots of friends. And so Ted designs a bear costume to wear to a “bears only” party in the hopes that he’ll be accepted and befriended by everyone at the party. But will that be the case? Why can’t everyone accept him for who he is?
Just Being Ted is a wonderful tale that also has a few life lessons for the young ones. Lessons that stress the importance of accepting those that are different and that one should treat others the same as how they would want to be treated.
With adorable illustrations, Just Being Ted is the perfect family-time read for pre-schoolers and kindergarteners.

Emma rated the book 10/10 she said her favourite part was when Teds clothes burnt off revealing his true self. She said it’s important to always be yourself.
Selena 4
She loved the part where he dressed up as a bear. She laughed a lot during this story and her favourite picture is the last one where Ted is dressed as a unicorn.
This is such a lovely children’s book with a very well thought out message. The illustrations are beautiful and we loved reading it.

We’ve been really enjoying Just Being Ted over the past few weeks.
Ted is a lonely but loveable dragon who decides to party crash the bears picnic!
This is a sweet story of finding friends & it’s beautifully illustrated. This will be a firm favourite for a while I think!
