When Jack comes home from the girl's night out, and he finds Alex and the babysitter sitting in front of the TV. Alex is asleep and he has a book in his lap. I *think* it is called the Big Book of Fairy Tales or something.
The reason I ask is that I had the exact same book when I was a child, but for the life of me I remember it so vaguely. It was one of my favorites. If anyone knows, I would be much obliged! :-)
The book is called The Teddy Bear Book by Peter Bull. Peter Bull was an English actor. This is his Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Bull
In the UK, the book was called Bear With Me but it was published in the US as The Teddy Bear Book. I found the book on Alibri's web page, the description says, "The book is an illustrated history of the teddy bear, the many roles he has played, and the effect he has had on the lives of "men, women, and even children."
