A moving story about jealousy and feeling left out.

Bear's days are very dull, even though he has Dog to talk to. He looks forward to the end of the day when Ellie comes back and tells him all about school. So he gets really excited when Ellie says she has to take her favourite toy there - only to be bitterly disappointed when she takes Dog. How could she?

Ellie catches Bear sobbing at night, and she explains that he was too big to go on the bus but that she will take him next time. And so Bear does go to school after all, and has a wonderful time, just like Dog.
