Loved to Bits is a story reminiscent of Shel Silverstein's book "The Giving Tree". Teddy loses various parts of his body during adventures with his best friend. Instead of mending his broken pieces together, his best friend decides that he likes the new teddy. It's a little creepy, but also cute at the same time.

Cute story about all the adventures a little boy and his teddy bear have together, which unfortunately results in Ted looking a bit rough and rundown. But that just means he's been loved hard, and he's still the perfect bedtime companion for the boy even if he's missing a few pieces.

A little boy describes all the fun times he has had with his teddy and how his teddy came to lose all his arms and legs, with his stripes changing from golden to brown. Although from the outside it may look like the teddy has been damaged, the boy explains how it only shows he's been loved.
A lovely story about love and friendship through a young child's vivid imagination. A great read-aloud story for FS and year 1, however, I also think there are lots of opportunities for this to be a book used to base work around.
The story follows a rhyming patter, likely to be enjoyed by young children as it helps the story flow nicely. The vivid imagination and some of the pages made me think of Winnie the Pooh.

Wanted to just weep over the message of this one. Old stuffed bears and toys become treasured items as one grows older. This book perfectly embodies this.
