Anzac Ted: 10th anniversary edition

Meet a bear who is more extraordinary than most in this poignant story about the Anzac spirit, re-issued as a gorgeous hardback to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

Anzac Ted is no ordinary bear. Hes got worn patches, frayed threads, missing parts and more but thats because hes got an incredible story to tell. Long ago, Anzac Ted went to war alongside Grandpa Jack. He kept the soldiers company and gave them courage, becoming a mascot who reassured them that they would make it through.

While Anzac Ted never won a medal, and now doesnt even attract a single vote at classroom Show and Tell, if only everyone looked a little deeper:

Theyd see a hero, plain as day,
Who sits upon my bed.
A hero, who saved me and you.
His name is Anzac Ted.

While several childrens picture books cover the world wars, none has ever made the conflict so accessible to children by telling the story of a bear who went to war. Told with love and sensitivity by an award-winning childrens author, this is a book that will touch the hearts of children and adults alike.
