'Anzac Ted is the powerful, poignant story of a little boy's teddy bear that was passed down to him from his grandfather. Battered, torn, missing an eye and an ear, he might look scary but he's got a great story to tell. For Anzac Ted went to war, keeping soldiers company and giving them comfort. And while he never won a medal, and now doesn't even attract a single vote at classroom Toy Shows, if only everyone looked a little deeper:
'They'd see a hero, plain as day
'Who sits upon my bed.
'A hero, who saved me and you.
'His name ... is Anzac Ted.' ' (Publication summary)
