Mozart has been a very busy bear.

Theresa and David Thomas with Mozart and the book

He lives at a different house each night and has even been on holiday to Spain. Theresa Thomas has written a children's book all about Mozart's trip abroad and the book, Mozart Goes on Holiday, should soon be available to buy.

Mrs Thomas has been a nursery nurse for 35 years and decided to write the book, her first, to teach children about experiences they may have in life.

The real-life Mozart Bear has been a feature at the Sawbridgeworth nursery, where she teaches, for eight years, and each night is taken home by one of the children to join in with the family's activities.

Mrs Thomas took the bear on holiday with her and photographed him joining in with the family holiday.The idea to publish the book came from Mrs Thomas's husband, David, who suggested it after she made a similar kind of book for use at the nursery school.
