My big bear. Tom Elian

Touching picture book about the friendship of a child with a soft toy.

Dad bought a bear to the baby - he is so huge, much more than his little owner. The child is growing, but the toy bear remains the way it was. The kid noticed that his bear outgrew. What is the matter? Maybe he needs to be fed? And if you put the bear on the closet, will he not be sad?

Each child has a toy with which he does not part. In France, they are called Doudou (the original name of the book is by BYE Doudou). Dudu is the best friend, it is a toy with which the baby sleeps together, goes to kindergarten, takes it with him on trips. Dudu calms the child and gives confidence. She smells of mom, home, all loved ones, and this gives the feeling that everything is in order. In France, parting with Dudu is a stage of growing up, a transition to an independent life.
