"When I was a little boy I had a little, silent bear called Sunday..."
So begins a story in which a boy and his bear are inseparable. They do everything together, from morning till night. But one morning the boy wonders why Sunday never gives him a hug or a kiss. Why does he never answer the boy's questions? Does the bear really love the boy?

This little book is a wonderful gift for any little person with a birthday, or any occasion. This book that will become a favorite
nighty night read. The illustrations are adorable and it has a look and
feel of books that used to be and now are hard to find. I have several I keep on hand for little ones who need a good friend before bed.
