Reprinted for the first time in softback, this is the story of Albert, the saddest polar bear ever.
All the toys in Mr Jolly's toy shop try to cheer him up and make him smile. But nothing works until Sally the Hippo accidentally falls over and kisses him. Her lipstick gives the sad polar bear a bright red smile - which makes Albert and the other toys fall about with laughter.
