Michael Rosen combines warmth, wit and emotional honesty with Joel Stewart’s expressive graphic-novel-style illustrations, while Red Ted’s unlikely friendship with a gloomy crocodile and cheese-mad cat gives the story plenty of charm. A lovely choice for children who enjoy stories about belonging, bravery and finding home, though the separation at the beginning may need a reassuring cuddle.
