Discovering a Contagious Smile

Meet Ted. He's not fluffy or new. His head is a little wobbly, he's missing a stitch or two, and his eyes don't quite match. But to Alex, Ted is absolutely perfect.

When Alex and his beloved teddy bear set off on an adventure to the zoo, they discover something rather wonderful. A simple smile can be contagious!

From a tiny ladybird to enormous elephants, cheeky monkeys, towering giraffes and roaring lions, Alex and Ted discover how a little kindness can spread happiness in the most unexpected ways.

Filled with playful rhymes, colourful illustrations and opportunities for counting, Discovering a Contagious Smile is a heartwarming celebration of friendship, acceptance and unconditional love.

A gentle reminder that you don't have to be perfect to be loved, that our differences make us special, and that even the smallest smile can make a big difference.
