Twinkle Twinkle Little Star David Ellwand’s Bears

Enter a teddy-land of dreams as the classic rhyme “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” is reimagined using David Ellwand's full-color photography.

In a fantastical take on a favorite rhyme, little teddy bears are getting ready for bed while their father serenades them on his violin. Bouncing on the bed, the teddies don't want to go to sleep at first. But as their father brings his music out to stargazers in the park, the teddies find themselves flying in rockets high above the earth and even bouncing on the moon! The original first verse of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” appears on the last spread.

David Ellwand, creator of Fairie-ality and co-creator, with Ruth Ellwand, of The Mystery of the Fool and the Vanisher, has been a photographer for thirty years and is the author-illustrator of more than twenty books for children. He lives in England.
