Night of the Living Ted by Barry Hutchison - Library Competition

Night of the Living Ted Competition

Create-a-Ted! Draw your own Teddy at a Teddy Bear’s Picnic.

When Lisa Marie and her step-brother Vernon pop into town to get their dad a birthday present, they discover the Create-a-Ted shop is offering free Halloween bears! Making two grisly bears for themselves and choosing an Elvis bear named Bearvis for Dad, they head home. That night the shopkeeper brings the bears to life for nefarious purposes … but Vernon’s bear, Grizz, doesn’t want to be a slave to humans – he wants to rule the world! Converting the shopkeeper’s Stuff-U-Lator into a machine for turning living matter into stuffed bears, he begins to prowl the streets. Can the children and Bearvis save themselves – and the world – from being stuffed?

To celebrate the launch of Barry Hutchison’s new series Night of the Living Ted, Stripes Publishing have a fantastic ‘Create-a-Ted drawing competition.’
