Help me find this book from my childhood!

[CloggingLight]

Trying to remember a book so I can read it to my son. I think it was about a stuffed rabbit air maybe a teddy bear or something. It’s either about a rabbit that gets lost or a toy that needs fixing. I can remember a girl in a nurse’s or doctors outfit doing like surgery to fix the teddy. Maybe I’m mixing up two stories but I would love to remember what it is to get it for my son!

Could it be Dogger by Shirley Hughes?

What decade was your childhood?

I think I know what you mean... wracking my brains though

It could be a Teddy Robinson story. I'm sure I remember one that featured a visit to a doll's hospital.

Would have been the 80’s but a lot of my books might have been from my mums childhood.

It’s not dogger, I just had a google of that.

My old teddy?

Hospital toys

Might it be called Alpaca? Did the girl have a birthday party?

The Doll Hospital?

It also reminds me of Nurse Nancy from the Twinkle magazines my great aunt used to buy me 🙂

Enid Blyton’s the blue eyed cat?

Teddy's Ear by Niki Daly?

I thought of Nurse Nancy as well. Twinkle Comic day was a big event in our house, because it was a Friday and I had the whole weekend to enjoy it after school.

Sounds like the Velveteen Rabbit

Could be one of the stories in the Teddy Robinson books? He goes to hospital and there are lots of dolls there? - ignore me - just seen someone above said the same!

Velveteen rabbit?

I was going to say Nurse Nancy from Twinkle. It was delivered with the newspaper on a Saturday morning. Oh the joy

The bear nobody wanted by Janet Ahlberg?
The Bear Nobody Wanted by Janet Ahlberg | Goodreads

I came to say it sounds like Teddy Robinson where Deborah was a nurse...and that it reminded me of Nurse Nancy in Twinkle. But I see I'm behind several others who have said the same thing 😀

Ah the joys of a 1970s and 1980s childhood!

.sound nothing like the Velveteen Rabbit. That rabbit doesn't get lost, nor need fixing (just gets a bit worn) ... And it's deliberately thrown out. Nothing about the book suggests it was out out to be fixed. Just that it was unhygienic!

The Winter Bear? Three children find a teddy bear stuck in a tree and take him home to fix him.

Lollopy is when the rabbit gets lost in the woods and needs to be repaired after being found , I have this on my bookshelf now
