Barty Barton: The Bear that was loved too much

What happens when we outgrow our teddy bears?

Thomas loved his teddy bear, but over the years, Barty had become tatty and old.
However, Barty was no ordinary teddy bear, and he wasn't about to give up on being loved.

Barty Baron came one Christmas.
He was loved and cuddled by my children, but then they grew up.
